Critical Path Extends Memova® Mobile Portfolio with Phone Back-Up

Personal contacts and content are protected and can be restored easily, even if the mobile device is lost or damaged

Critical Path, Inc., a leading provider of messaging software and services, today announced the launch of Phone Back-Up as the newest offering in its Memova® Mobile portfolio of mobility solutions. Phone Back-Up enables mobile operators to provide branded services protecting their subscribers’ contacts and content data.

Research conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Critical Path identified that more than 60% of consumers invest multiple hours manually entering contact information on their mobile handset. Research also shows consumers are spending significant time using their handset to download and create personal content such as photos, music and videos. Today, personal contacts and content on the mobile handset would be irretrievable if their handset was lost or damaged. Existing solutions are considered to be either too complex or too limiting.

“Today’s consumers are increasingly dependent on their mobile handsets for contact information and are creating personal content, such as photos or videos, that they care about,” says Donald Dew, Chief Technology Officer, Critical Path. “Service providers have a great opportunity to provide assurance services that give consumers protection from loss or damage to their mobile handset, while generating revenue and loyalty.”

Phone Back-Up secures consumers’ mobile contacts and content on the service provider’s network. With simple over-the-air setup and operation, there is no need to physically connect to a PC and consumers have the option of tailoring the content and timing of back-ups. Content and contacts can be restored quickly and easily by down loading the data from the web or desktop to the mobile handset.

Phone Back-Up is now available and is powering the back-up services of several service providers around the world including Telefónica Móviles and O2. For further information, please visit www.criticalpath.net.
