MACROKIOSK Takes Clients to Global Market

Petaling Jaya, 20 September 2007: Asia's leading SMS gateway, MACROKIOSK, is now able to offer its customers direct access to mobile markets in Central America, Middle East, Europe, Africa and India.

This is made possible through its partnership with mTN Global Inc, the world’s leading mobile services marketplace, formalised here today.

With this partnership, MACROKIOSK's clients who are original content owners will have a worldwide platform to market their offerings.

“We're excited about this MACROKIOSK–mTN Global tie-up as we are now providing a gateway to the world, literally,” said Kenny Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Macro Kiosk Bhd.

“MACROKIOSK is proud to be invited as the only Asian mobile messaging technology enabler to join this mTN Network. That means content providers (CPs) in Malaysia, and countries we're in - Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam - can reach the world through us.

“With this partnership in place, CPs in countries like Central and South America, Middle East, Africa, India and Eastern Europe can now access Asia via MACROKIOSK.

“Our message to content providers is: 'The world is your oyster',” he quipped.

He expected this partnership to generate revenue within the next six months.

Explaining how it works, Goh said if MACROKIOSK’s CP wanted to penetrate Saudi Arabia for instance, MACROKIOSK will leverage on its partnership with mTN Global to pave the way for the CP to reach mobile users in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, if mTN Global's CP wanted to market its content to China, MACROKIOSK would offer this reach as well.

Goh further explained that in moving towards being the leading mobile messaging gateway provider worldwide, this partnership is very much in line with MACROKIOSK's strategy to complement our connections to 364 mobile operators over 115 countries as well as being able to extend our market offerings to these continents.

“Furthermore, this access platform works both ways. With the mTN partnership, we'll bring the rest of the world to Asia. Content providers from Europe, Middle East and those other regions would be able to gain quick and fuss-free access to Malaysia, and the other nine countries that MACROKIOSK has physical presence in. No more battling barriers to entry or figuring out how to go about accessing Asia's market, as MACROKIOSK will clear the path. Time to market would be slashed to a minimum.

“Of course, the end users stand to benefit – a delicious international buffet of mobile content and applications awaits.

Speaking at the briefing, mTN Global Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Paul McGuire said, “We provide the market visibility, trading framework and underlying mobile transaction technology that connect an aggregator's platform to other buyers and suppliers.”

“mTN Global is enthusiastic about the synergy that this partnership will provide. We’ll be able to tap on MACROKIOSK’s strength in Asia, while MACROKIOSK gains access to the rest of the world,” he said.

MACROKIOSK, a Goldis Berhad subsidiary, is the leading Mobile Messaging Technology enabler in Asia. MACROKIOSK's in-house developed etracker is connected to 364 mobile operators over 115 countries for bulk messaging, and directly connected to 60 mobile operators over 15 countries for premium messaging.

MACROKIOSK 带领客户到全球市场

(八打灵再也2007年9月20日讯) 亚洲首要短讯网关MACROKIOSK现在已能让客户直接联系中美洲、中东、欧洲、非洲和印度的流动市场。

MACROKIOSK今天正式和世界上居领先地位的流动服务机构mTN Global Inc结盟，并通过两者的技术协作提升给予客户的服务。

有了这项合作后，MACROKIOSK的原创内容客户等於有一个全球平台来展开业务。

Macro Kiosk有限公司首席执行员吴志权说：“我们对MACROKIOSK和mTN Global 的结盟合作感到非常兴奋，因为我们现在已在实际上成为一个可和全世界联系的网关。”

“MACROKIOSK以能成为和mTN Network结盟的唯一亚洲流动通讯科技机构深感骄傲. 这意味着马来西亚国内及在我们有开设办事处的国家即汶莱、中国、香港、印尼、菲律宾、新加坡、台湾、泰国和越南的内容提供机构 (content providers) 都能通过我们和全世界联系。
“随着这项结盟的落实,在中美、南美洲、中东、非洲、印度和东欧等国家的内容提供机构现在都可以通过MACROKIOSK与亚洲接触。

他幽默地说：“我们带给内容提供机构的讯息是：‘世界就是您们的鲜蚝’。”

他预料这项结盟将能在六个月内为公司带来可观收入。

在解释实际操作情况时，吴先生说，如果MACROKIOSK的内容提供客户要渗透沙地阿拉伯市场，MACROKIOSK将利用它与mTN Global 的合作关系为他们打开接触沙地阿拉伯流动业者的管道。相同的，如果mTN Global的内容提供机构要把其产品推介到中国，MACROKIOSK也将让他们得尝所愿。

吴先生进一步解释说，在朝向成为全球居领先地位的流动通讯网关机构的过程中，这项结盟符合了MACROKIOSK的策略以加强与其遍布115个国家的364家流动通讯机构的密切联系以及把市场服务范围扩大到这些大陆。

“此外，这项联系平台能产生双向作用。与mTN 结盟后，我们等於把全世界带到亚洲来。欧洲、中东及其他地区的内容提供机构将能和马来西亚及其他九个MACROKIOSK 设有办事处的国家迅速及方便地联系。不需再面对进入网站的阻隔，或想方设法如何联系亚洲市场，因为MACROKIOSK已为您清除一切障碍。您将能以最短的时间接触到全球市场。

“当然，消费人将从中获益，因为美味的“国际流动内容和应用自助餐”正等待着被享用。

mTN Global首席执行员及联合创办人保罗麦桂 (Paul McGuire) 在汇报会上说：“我们提供市场的可视度、贸易架构及铺设流动交易科技从而把集合机构的平台和其他购买者及供应公司联系起来。”
他说：“mTN Global对这项结盟所能催发的协同作用深感兴奋。我们将能善用MACROKIOSK在亚洲所具备的强势而MACROKIOSK则能把接触面延伸到全球。”
