BJP signs up ValueFirst for sms based communication network

Mumbai, June 5 (UNI) Looking ahead to capture power in the next Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party has signed up a leading mobile data services provider to develop an extensive sms based communication network.

BJP has chosen ValueFirst, which provided Mobile Data Services to more than 800 enterprises, for connecting their registered members across the network of district and state offices in the country.

BJP has an independent IT Cell and was aiming to put to use technological innovations, to help in improving the governance system. ''BJP is all geared up to explore and experiment innovative technology in and for a 'new India','' National Convenor of the IT Cell of the party, Prodyut Bora said.

Coinciding with the signing of the MOU, ValueFirst has launched an awareness and education campaign on Enterprise Mobile Messaging, a release issued here said.

According to Vijay Shukla, Co-founder and Country Head of value first Mobile Messaging, will help Indian enterprises and organisations overcome the physical and economical constraints of extensive mass reach, thereby paving the way for greater efficiencies through real-time communication.

Enterprise mobile messaging, though at a nascent stage in India, has shown exponential growth in this short period of time. Features such as cost effectiveness, ease of use, wide reach, easy implementation and real-time messaging capabilities have driven enterprises to adopt mobile messaging services to improve their internal and external communication systems. However, a recent nationwide survey by ValueFirst has revealed that the awareness about this service is minimal.
