NetCom Flash movie about its service Kontaktsynk [Norwegian]:https://netcom.no /nomenu/kontaktsynkfilm/netcom -kontaktsynk.swf
Arne Igesund, Manager of Data Services at Netcom: "We wanted to be able to offer ourcustomers an OTA back-up and restore facility for their personal data which wouldmean that a change of phone  either due to loss or upgrading  would not meanlosing all important information. With SyncML Gateway we can provide our customerswith seamless data migration from one device to another, quickly and easily. We alsoliked the fact that Synchronica's software is based on the SyncML open standard,meaning it works on a wide range of devices."
Synchronica CEO Carsten Brinkschulte is confident that SyncML Gateway will continueto make headway in the mobile operator space. Brinkschulte says: "Mobile operatorsare increasingly looking for new revenue streams and an OTA back-up and restoreservice; for data residing on individual phones is something that customers arebeginning to request in greater numbers. The research group Zelos found that 15 % ofmobile subscribers expressed a strong need for a mechanism to back up contact dataand this percentage will probably grow as people depend more and more upon theirmobile devices as the primary repository for vital information. As well as employingSyncML Gateway to increase data traffic, operators can also use the product to helpmaintain brand loyalty amongst customers."
