Mobile convergence has dramatically changed how business professionals and consumers communicate, work and stay informed. Today’s mobile users rely on a single device for everything - eliminating the once distinct barriers between their personal and professional lives. New tools that reduce the complexity of technology and simplify the user interface and management control are in high demand.

Today’s mobile professional faces a number of challenges: overflowing inboxes caused by the convergence of personal and professional communications on a single device, the need to manage personal and professional contacts differently and in real-time, and effectively communicating with groups while “on the road.”

Enterprises are also facing challenges caused by mobile convergence and their employees’ adoption of smartphones as the preferred corporate mobile device, such as: the company’s inability to manage, control, secure and support their employees’ new mobile devices, the company’s inability to apply policy management and police mobile communications while remaining flexible and sensitive to personal privacy, and securing corporate data and networks from unauthorized access or distribution of information.  Unlike other business tools such as the laptop that corporations control and secure all communication from and to the device (internally and externally), the company has no solution to fully integrate and control their mobile phones or messages.  The majority of professionals, 65%, choose their own mobile device and 85% choose their carrier. This unique mobile market has caused serious security and management issues for the professional consumer and the corporation and thus requires a new set of tools to manage, control and secure their mobile communications.

LegiTime is the first mobile security and management software company to address mobile convergence and its unique user requirements.

Keeping messages appropriate for different audiences has become more and more important.  As the advent of email changed the rules for business communication, some surveys indicate that more than 60 percent of professionals use SMS in addition to email for business conversations, introducing a whole new set of etiquette – and regulatory – challenges.

LegiTime's patent-pending DoL (Demonstration of Legitimacy) technology allows mobile and wireless industry customers to organize and prioritize their subscriber's messages in an increasingly complex communication world. LegiTime is the first to offer this as a low-cost, low-management, self-regulating and scalable solution that is distributed and can be activated quickly and easily.

The company’s first product, LegiText, reduces clutter in the mobile inbox and transforms the mobile device into a more effective business tool by allowing Smartphone users to prioritize and manage their incoming messages, create on-the-fly messaging groups, and improve the utility of SMS for business.  As the Smartphone becomes the dominant communications device for pro-sumers, LegiText allows them to define inboxes that categorize and prioritize each type of message they receive, facilitate group communications among project teams, and keep an "official record" of SMS conversations in today's highly regulated business environment.

Founded in 2005, LegiTime Technologies is headquartered in Westport, Conn. with offices in Montreal and Boston. Visit www.legitimetechnologies.com
