Pageone Connect is Shortlisted for the Business Continuity Awards 'Most Innovative Product of the Year'


London 4th April 2007 - PageOne, the UK's foremost supplier of wireless SMS messaging and Paging technology services, today announced that PageOne Connect has been selected as a finalist for the 'Most Innovative Product of the Year' category in this year's Business Continuity Awards.

These prestigious awards, supported by the City of London, City of London Police, IBM and BSI British Standards, have been designed to recognise the most innovative people, projects and products in the business continuity sector.

PageOne Connect is an integrated, two-way messaging platform that enables companies to communicate across all mobile, e-mail and paging networks. Designed specifically for the corporate and public sector, PageOne Connect is located in a high-redundancy environment employing 128-bit SSL encryption, yet still maintains the versatility needed to adapt to a variety of dynamic business environments.

The 'Most Innovative Product of the Year' award acknowledges those companies that can demonstrate the most innovation in developing practical business continuity applications. Finalists needed to demonstrate the nature of the product, the product philosophy and detail how the new product can aid- companies in their business continuity function.

PageOne Connect was used extensively during the tragic events of the London July 7th bombings. NHS trusts, emergency services, London Underground and the rail companies all used PageOne Connect's paging and SMS messaging capabilities for a rapid, co-ordinated and informed response to the incident. In addition, hundreds of corporate businesses used PageOne Connect as part of their own incident and business continuity procedure, with thousands of companies across London kept informed by the City of London Bombwatch scheme, operated by PageOne.

Chris Jones, PageOne's Chief Executive Officer said, "We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this prestigious award. It is a great testament to all the staff at PageOne, who have worked so tirelessly in the development and day-to-day running of PageOne Connect. We are obviously excited about being a finalist for this prestigious award, and will continue to focus on delivering the high resilience and outstanding customer service levels that have been such a major influence in the company's continued success."

The 2007 Business Continuity Awards Gala Dinner will be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London's Park Lane from 7pm on Thursday 10th May 2007.
