BELTUG seeks volunteers to participate in a Proof of Concept for a mobile data alerter for BlackBerry

BELTUG X-Changes on mobile data demonstrated that companies fear a bill shock when using mobile data. Blackberry/RIM got the message and asked a partner to develop an application that informs both employees and IT departments in real time about their mobile data usage.

BELTUG and Blackberry/RIM are now looking for a few companies with national and/or international mobile data usage to test the new concept. This opportunity is exclusively for our ICT Decision Makers (users).

If you are interested in being a candidate for the Proof of Concept, please send us an email.
 

What would we expect from you as a participant?

• 26 May, 10 AM: be at the kick-off meeting (location to be confirmed) – presentation of the test 
• July – August: test the application with some of your users
• September: be at the final meeting to gather your feedback + evaluation of the results

So let us know if you could be interested in an application that:
• monitors and counts incoming and outgoing data packages
• displays (roaming) network status
• indicates in real time your daily and monthly data quota and consumption (in Kb)
• shows active applications that are consuming mobile data (e.g. Google maps).

Practicalities

• Easy downloading of the application via a weblink.
• Free use of the application
• RIM and its partner will be available for any questions and support
 

We thank our members for their contribution.
