Pyxis Mobile, a leading
provider of wireless applications for the financial services industry, announced the launch of mDashboard(tm), a real-time reporting tool for managers within banks, asset managers, and hedge funds. For use with any BlackBerry(r) from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX:
RIM), mDashboard provides a mobile extension of the sophisticated systems
users have come to rely on while in the office.
mDashboard offers a unique solution to this problem by allowing managers to
access disparate data sources including industry-specific news, order
management systems, and sales analysis from their handheld. By extending
these enterprise and market data sources, users obtain immediate access to
all of their critical data. The net result is managers un-tethered from
their desks, who make better decisions, based on integrated market research
and performance reports-from anywhere at anytime. Via the mDashboard
Executive screen, users can access a multitude of data options including
these highlights:
* News
* User-defined alerts and notifications
* Sales reports
* Daily dashboard views
Pyxis Mobile offers a suite of wireless financial applications as part of
their general mPlatform(r) offering, including mDashboard(tm),
mWholesaler(r), mHedge Manager(tm), mInstitutional(tm), mPortfolio
Manager(tm), and mAdvisor(tm), each providing remote access to vital data
from a company's back-end network. Used by more than 35 percent of U.S.
mutual fund wholesalers, Pyxis Mobile has become the most widely used
wireless software in the financial services industry.
"Rapid access to accurate data is the lifeblood of the financial services
industry and executive management requires the most up-to-date market and
performance information possible. We built mDashboard with these needs in
mind," said Todd Christy, Chief Technology Officer, Pyxis Mobile. "This
product is designed for the specific needs of executives and operations
management, we understand the challenges of the business units across the
financial enterprise."
Dan Schatt, a senior analyst with financial research and consulting firm
Celent says, "The U.S. market is now experiencing seismic changes in the way
mobile phones are utilized. As mobile bandwidth, handset technology and
operating systems have evolved, the mobile phone is fast becoming a portable
version of the internet, freeing executives from the physical constraints of
desktop and laptop computing and providing anytime anywhere access to
critical business data and applications."
