May, 2009
E-site Marketing and SynXis mobile solutions offer a simple approach
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, 28 May - With so much being written recently about mobile technology it is not difficult to hear the "call for mobile." What might be more difficult is determining exactly how and when to answer.

Like an online booking engine and Website before it, you don't want to be the last hotel on the block to "go mobile." Projections from the International Telecommunications Union estimated over 4 billion mobile subscribers at the end of 2008 representing over 61percent of the world's population.
