Kaiser Permanente Moves into Phase II of Wireless Messaging
SAN JOSE, CA, April 11, 2001 – Semotus Solutions Inc. (AMEX:DLK, formerly Datalink.net), today announced that Kaiser Permanente, Americas largest not-for-profit health maintenance organization, serving 8.1 million members in 9 states and the District of Columbia, progresses to Phase II of wireless messaging with the latest developments from Semotus Solutions. After successfully moving from their legacy help desk and paging system a year ago, Kaiser Permanente has chosen the most advanced version of the HipLink messaging system software, developed by Cross Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Semotus Solutions, to expand their messaging system via internet delivery.
Long Beach, Calif.-based First Consulting Group, Inc. completed the original HipLink installation and integration work for Kaiser Permanente in January 2000. In that installation, HipLink was integrated into Vantive help desk operations, which is one of the most advanced customer relationship management applications.
Kaiser Permanente pushes highly critical messages from their IBM computers out to a variety of wireless devices. Since Cross has become part of the Semotus organization, its products and services have been significantly upgraded to accommodate the new business needs at Kaiser.
Impressed with the many improvements introduced since the installation, Kaiser came back to Semotus Solutions to explore new wireless technology developments and possible upgrades to their system. “Semotus Solutions is pleased to have the opportunity to continue to serve the evolving business needs of one of its many important customers,” said Anthony N. LaPine, Chairman and CEO of Semotus Solutions. “By integrating the newest Cross products with Semotus Solutions w-ASP services, we are able to up-sell into our existing customer base, generating tremendous revenue potential for our organization.”
