Montavo, Inc.'s mMAP(TM) is a mobile marketing platform that integrates client side mobile device software with a mobile advertising network solution and ad distribution ecosystem. Montavo offers its solution to consumer focused advertisers (manufacturers and retailers from national brands to SMBs), wireless carriers, mobile handset manufacturers and mobile OS providers, personal navigation device (PND) manufacturers, automotive manufacturers, and other tier-one suppliers as either a white-labeled mobile application or as the Montavo branded mDealFinder. Montavo's proprietary, patent-pending mobile advertising platform has been designed from the ground up to deliver the most relevant, location-based deals on products or services to consumers while providing rich real-time data and analytics on mobile ad campaign performance and ROI to advertisers that primarily sell their products in a brick and mortar setting. Todays News : SEATTLE, WA, May 13, 2010 -- Montavo, Inc. (OTCBB: MTVO) is pleased to announce the initiation of collaborative efforts in the demonstration & evaluation of the Montavo Mobile Advertising Platform (mMAP(TM)) with Alcatel-Lucent's Open API Service for a major U.S. wireless carrier. Montavo, having designed the mMAP(TM) to integrate with Alcatel-Lucent's Open API Service platform for testing across the technology platforms and demonstrating the performance with a major wireless carrier's architecture, is a key milestone. Montavo's proprietary, patent pending mMAP(TM) platform is the only mobile advertising solution that supports an "ad spend to profit ratio" for ROI calculation of mobile advertising campaigns. Advertisers that use the mMAP(TM) are able to confirm physical location in-store purchases made by consumers that have received ad impressions (push & or pull: search/discovery, display, text and or MMS) on their mobile device. Additionally, the mMAP(TM) does not require any integration at the POS or codes/barcodes, no additional training of sales associates or interaction with the consumer, and also does not require physical hardware/software in the store. Montavo is the only mobile advertising provider to enable these capabilities for advertisors. Montavo provides reporting dashboards including the Montavo Mobile Ad Spend Speedometer(TM) which is a real-time tool that allows advertisers to monitor the Ad Spend to Profits ratio for ROI performance metrics from multi-channel mobile advertising campaigns that are deployed on the mMAP(TM). "Demonstrating the functionality and performance capabilities of mMAP(TM) with Alcatel-Lucent and a major U.S. wireless carrier in a test environment is a meaningful step in preparing for the scalable commercial launch of our platform," said Brook Lang, CEO of Montavo. "Integrated testing efforts such as these help us refine our overall technology architecture as well as identify key components of functionality to add to our product development roadmap for future releases of mMAP(TM)," said Lang. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit: www.otc-advisors.com About OTC-ADVISORS.COM OTC-ADVISORS.COM is a website that profiles stocks of interest.
