FusionOne, a provider of mobile phone backup services, today entered into partnerships with five new mobile content providers.
With new partnerships with FunMobility, Hands-On Mobile, Digital Chocolate, Inc., Viva Vision, and Cequint, mobile phone subscribers now have the ability to move licensed content from these companies from one mobile device to another using FusionOne’s Mobile Content Transfer solution, according to the company.
Content providers can preserve and extend existing relationships with their subscriber customers independent of a subscriber’s mobile device, company officials say, and subscribers will no longer be inconvenienced by having to remember, repurchase and re-download applications from their previous phone.
“Subscribers to Viva Vision’s dynamic and interactive slideshow applications would undoubtedly be upset if there were an interruption in their ability to enjoy our world-class content,” said Nick Montes, president of Viva Vision. “Our partnership with FusionOne solves this potential problem, ensuring uninterrupted service for our customers.”
FusionOne offers a suite of premier mobile applications that help consumers protect, manage, and transfer the personal content on their mobile phones, including contacts, calendar, photos, music and messages, according to the company.
FusionOne pioneered mobile phone backup and offers the industry’s leading backup service supporting millions of customers, currently offered on 15 wireless carriers worldwide, company officials say.
FusionOne is an established player of mobile content backup through its patented wireless synchronization platform and its close relationships with key industry associations including the Open Mobile Alliance, Qualcomm’s BREW Alliance Program and the Symbian Connectivity Partner Program.
“The growth in mobile gaming in recent years means that application and service providers need to work together to ensure an enjoyable, hassle-free experience for users,” said Trip Hawkins, founder and chief executive officer of Digital Chocolate. “With our relationship with FusionOne, our subscribers can now continue to enjoy Digital Chocolate’s unique, high-quality offerings without interruption when they switch phones.”
“Our partnerships with these companies represent another step forward towards our goal of providing backup and migration services for all mobile content,” said Mohan Sadashiva, senior vice president of marketing for FusionOne. “We’re continuing to engage in discussions with more content providers to give mobile phone subscribers the ability to easily migrate more of their licensed content and make the mobile phone user experience as secure and hassle-free as possible.”
