AirClic Becoming the Mobility Platform of Choice for Market Makers

NEWTOWN, Pa., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- AirClic(R), a leading provider of business process mobilization solutions, is quickly becoming the mobility platform of choice for market makers, capping off the quarter with significant new partnerships, customer signings, numerous industry awards and additions to its leadership and sales teams. During the quarter, AirClic formed several new partnerships including reseller agreements with ADP and Mexico's largest cell phone carrier, Telcel. Additionally, the company signed on new customers including U.S. Steel and Mayo Medical Laboratories.

"The new relationships we've forged with companies such as ADP and Telcel are great examples of how our mobile solutions have gained traction as both an internal solution and a value-added service for their own customers and proves that our 'customer first' focus is the best philosophy. As 2007 continues to progress, we'll continue to build our company with leadership that completely understands and executes on this philosophy."
