FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rearden Commerce,
Inc., creator of the first web-based personal assistant and a leading choice
of CFO's for managing spending on business services, today announced the
introduction of the Rearden Commerce(TM) Mobile Personal Assistant. Business
travelers equipped with BlackBerry(TM) smart phone devices can now enjoy
instant access to their Rearden Personal Assistant(TM) from anywhere. The new
Mobile Personal Assistant is unique in its personalization, ease of use and
breadth of services. Unlike traditional mobile applications, the Rearden
Commerce Mobile Personal Assistant is the first of its kind to account for the
user's identity, presence, and the context of what they're doing -- and
deliver personalized real-time information, whether in the office or on the
road. The Mobile Personal Assistant is already live with hundreds of Rearden
Commerce customers representing hundreds of thousands of users.
"There's no other way to say it: traditional travel booking tools have
failed today's business traveler," said Patrick Grady, founder and CEO of
Rearden Commerce. "Simply presenting travelers with static itineraries or
scaled-down versions of clunky and obsolete booking tools is not the solution
for road warriors who need real-time updates and immediate access to critical
itinerary and travel services information. That's why we created the Rearden
Commerce Mobile Personal Assistant. It's a game-changing application, custom-
built for smart devices, that stays one step ahead of road warriors at all
times and puts valuable real-time travel information at their fingertips. Our
customers are already telling us the Mobile Personal Assistant is making a
huge difference in their business travels."
The workforce is on the move. According to analyst firm IDC, there will
be more than one billion mobile workers worldwide by 2011. This group is
inundated with a variety of disparate mobile applications, none of which
offers the intuitive and personalized user experience delivered by the Rearden
Commerce Mobile Personal Assistant. Like a seasoned executive assistant, the
Mobile Personal Assistant keeps users on schedule, proactively notifies them
of delays, and helps them find and book the services they need while on the
go.
