River
Run Software Expands Distribution, Integration, and Support Partnership
with RFD & Associates
Stamford,
CT, March 18, 2002: River
Run Software, a recognized industry leader in providing powerful mobile
workforce solutions for enterprise automation and collaboration, announced
today an expansion of its partnership with RFD & Associates, for
marketing, integration, and support of River Run's flagship software
family, MobileSphere, in the central Texas area.
River Run Software brings to this partnership its award-winning mobile
workforce management solutions with a distinguished track record in
delivering impressive results for its enterprise clients. RFD provides
an experienced services team in the region, its Venice Systems web-
and wireless-ready automated purchasing and inventory software, and
an extensive customer base that has been built over 18 years.
In this expansion, RFD will actively market River Run's industry-leading
MobileSphere for Field Service & Repair solution to private
and public sector organizations with service and repair workforces.
River Run's roles-based, collaborative solution enables companies
to transform their entire trouble ticket workflow. The MobileSphere
system provides: automated problem reporting; self-diagnosis and problem
troubleshooting; automatic assignment of workers and groups based
on expertise, availability, territory, and workload; event tracking
for escalation and automatic notification via pager, e-mail, and SMS;
the ability for workers to capture on mobile devices the work they
perform; and electronic transfer of this information back to the central
system over wireless, wired, and docked connections.
MobileSphere for Field Service & Repair solution integrates with
customer's parts inventory systems. For a single-source, complete
solution with comprehensive inventory features already built-in, RFD
will now offer robust, cost-effective solutions that include MobileSphere
for Field Service & Repair and integrated repair parts and equipment
asset management software from Venice Systems.
RFD will also provide customers ongoing solution support following
MobileSphere implementation. This combination of enhanced marketing,
functionality, and support results in even greater value and peace
of mind for MobileSphere customers.
"We look forward to this closer relationship with RFD to maximize
the value we bring to customers in central Texas," said Dr. Trilok
Manocha, Founder and President of River Run Software. "This partnership
expansion is consistent with our strategy to work closely with established,
customer-focused companies that possess strong track records in their
target markets."
"RFD is enthusiastic about the compelling and unique value proposition
for customers that teaming with River Run presents. River Run brings
industry-leading mobile workforce solutions and a track record of
award-winning deployments into this partnership. RFD adds an experienced
services team in the region and over 18 years of private and public
sector expertise to guide, service, and support new MobileSphere customers",
said Anne Davison, President of RFD & Associates.
