How We Do It
Upside's flagship product is the Wireless Information Server (WIS),
an information management middleware platform. The WIS routes data between
various networks, including email, CRM and ERP applications, corporate
databases, and SMS networks. Upside licenses WIS to companies to provide
customized business and communication solutions. We also work with partners
and resellers, who use Upside’s global SMS platform to private-label
SMS services.
The WIS powers ipipi.com,
our international text messaging service started in 2001, which now
serves over 170,000 subscribers, reaches every country in the world,
and covers 99.5% of all global networks. One of the features, the "60-minute-API,"
enables any enterprise application to be connected to the global SMS
platform in as little as one hour. Upside also licenses WIS to companies
to provide customized business and communication solutions for enterprises.
