Case study: Mobile Nordic

  • Search and other innovative mobile services

    Mobile handsets provide great opportunities to create innovative services needed by large groups of people and organisations. The current standard of handsets are for more than just making your phone calls, they are also for making phone calls easier. How about a service that provides you with the name of an unknown caller before you answer the phone? Mobile Nordic has it for you, check out the service at http://www.adressboken.se and put it into use.

    Mobile Nordic’s search services were first launched in Sweden during the summer of 2007 and are now rapidly gaining coverage in several countries. The services are available for a large range of handsets, on all relevant mobile phone platforms: S60, Windows Mobile, UIQ and Java. This high functionality has given them several mobile industry awards as well as lots of Press coverage. What does the user have to do in order to see the unknown caller’s name? Absolutely nothing. The service detects the unknown number and completes its search in the background, presenting the results on-screen.

    Futurice has had a major role in Mobile Nordic’s development in a transitional period while the company has been building up its own development resources. Futurice has also been involved in creating Mobile Nordic’s innovative future services, yet to be announced. The cooperation has been rewarding for both sides. Mobile Nordic has gained the possibility to create value through new business partners without an immediate need to have its own development organisation. For Futurice this cooperation has shown that there are endless opportunities for businesses in the mobile space. It’s all about delivery and cooperation.
