A Flash pitch from T@lecom

Coventry based service provider T@lecom made its name, and its money, with its Wireless Delivered mobile office solution.

Wireless Delivered, a T@lecom trademark, enables businesses to run and edit office documents on mobile devices, and to synchronise field data with office systems.

It also enables GPS tracking and signature capture, making it popular with courier and transport companies. T@lecom claims Wireless Delivered is used by 40 per cent of UK non-emergency ambulance services in the UK.

It was the first software to be written in the UK to sit on Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices, and has been optioned by Vodafone, Orange and O2, with the latter deploying the software on XDA handsets for business and training teams in its retail stores.

T@lecom is a Microsoft ‘gold partner’ and a BlackBerry BES hosting operation.

Wireless Delivered contributes the lion’s share of its £1 million annual turnover. However, T@lecom has a new service coming to market now, which it believes will generate “serious” additional cashflow and in time trump the success of Wireless Delivered.

“We are a small company with big ambitions,” says T@lecom founder and managing director Jan O’Hara (pictured). “When you’ve the facilities we do and are used to running data centres, you want other things you can host and then distribute. And as exciting as the mobile data business is, it’s not in the same league as FlashTxT.”
