firstRain Software Centre, a company that provides infrastructure software
for the next-generation Web, has announced the release of its mobile information
software solution for most popular mobile devices including the Palm,
Handspring, Compaq iPAQ, RIM Blackberry, as well as a host of Web-enabled cell
phones. With the launch of this innovative initiative, the company has

comprehensive Instant Awareness solution.

The firstRain Instant Awareness software platform, that helps to create
snippets or components for inclusion in the mobile application, provides a
number of features important to rapidly creating effective mobile information
solutions. These components can be linked together, as required, to create a new
application targeted to the specific needs of the mobile user, which can even
include new functionality absent in the source components. In addition, the
firstRain mobile information solution adds powerful features focused on the
special requirements of mobile applications.

Targeting enterprises across industry verticals including financial
institutions, media, hospitality services and others, besides mobile carriers,
wireless Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content distribution networks,
Value-Added Service Providers (VASPs), and wireless Application Service
Providers (ASPs), the company is marketing its solutions and services in India
with ARI, an IT solutions provider.

"firstRain's mobile information solution is most suited for the emerging
market that has a steady growth of mobile workforce and the desire of companies
to communicate more directly with their customers, using wireless technologies
to keep everyone in touch from wherever they are, whenever they needed,"
says Shravan Rewari, Managing Director, firstRain Software Centre Pvt. Ltd. He
added that the company's offerings go beyond the simple wireless extensions to
make the mobile worker or the remote customer an integral part of the business
environment.
