GetLisa Information Services probably derives its name from its hallmark application called LISA (Local Information Services Assistant). The company was founded in 2001 and has carved a niche for itself in the carrier platforms and social media applications markets. it delivers wireless data solutions spanning a wide spectrum. Depending on the client’s requirement, it can deploy a community portal, mobile content, or a complete network. In a move to enhance its presence in the mobile market, the company has unveiled plans to expand its data center in Boulder, Colorado. This expanded facility will also help the company take care of expanding customer base and service portfolio. The data center is a “Class A” data center with Tier 1 bandwidth capacity and security protocol. Expanding business increased the company’s need for the redundancy, rack space, and extra network bandwidth that this expansion will offer. This expansion also comes at an investment of up to $500,000 that will bring in people and equipment to cater to the company’s future plans for growth. Incidentally, the company has also released its Mobile Internet Gateway product. This release comes after an agreement with Element Mobile and will provide clients with mobile store, ring tones, and SMS services, to name a few features. Element Mobile came into existence after Verizon and Alltel merged. Element Mobile will use GetLisa’s services to also provide premium content to its users. GetLisa’s business caters to wireless data services in North America, and its customers span the CDMA and GSM categories. The company’s products are known for being scalable and are focused on generating revenues for clients. The company started by offering products meant for localization applications for mobile devices. LISA, or the Local Information Services Assistant, aids in bringing local information to mobile devices. This information is generated by local communities. The company’s infrastructure solutions are hosted and include technologies like SMSC, WAP gateway, and MMSC. one of its strong points is that it “collects” content from several publishers, giving it the ability to provide content solutions to clients at better than competitive rates. GetLisa’s products and solutions are aimed at providing the benefits of maximum revenue, decreased costs, and flexibility. one of the mainstays of the company’s offerings is a customized approach. The company believes that each carrier has different sets of requirements, and its technology allows it to build these requirements into its portfolio. The three pillars of GetLisa’s solutions are Content, Community, and Infrastructure, and each of these involves application of specialized knowledge. For instance, the company’s content products help a client choose the right content and ensure that they work with local communities to make the content specific and relevant. The mobile store can thus be dovetailed with local portals and carriers. For instance, GetLisa’s product called the EMX short code platform allows the client to conduct local SMS short code operations. LISA enhances the company’s offering in community portals. Mobile communities, mobile marketing, local content, and so on find usage in community portals, and the company’s Micro.Local platform allows rural carriers to flourish. This means that local schools, governments, and even businesses have ready and relevant access to the local subscribers and can use the medium of mobile devices to communicate information about events and news. In terms of infrastructure solutions, the company has award-winning products like SMSC. it offers the option of integration on the client’s network or hosting the solution at its own data center. This kind of integration could also include SMS integration and routing of all WAP and MMS traffic. all the company’s offerings are backed by training on technology solutions, including installation, maintenance, and operation. GetLisa is able to do all this thanks to its scalable architecture solution that delivers not just scalability but also redundancy. The solution’s modular design provides a well-defined interface between modules and the application systems and effective monitoring and warning systems. Security, which is always a huge concern, is delivered through secure customer and subscriber databases, password hashing, and data mirroring. even the data is transferred from one data center to another only through restricted network interfaces.
