SMS Software
SMS text messaging has grown to be one of the most popular forms of communication in the world today.
M-Science have harnessed the power of SMS into a powerful software application that allows you to rapidly deploy text messaging capability to your systems, websites and applications.
We firmly believe that M-Science SMS Server represents the strongest corporate end-to-end SMS Software solution on the market today.
SMS Messaging Software
M-Science enables organisations to provide two-way messaging facilities to their personnel and corporate information systems using existing messaging infrastructure and line of business applications. The SMS Software is based upon a true three-tier client server architecture using DCOM technology.
Enterprise integration is provided for the vast majority of server based messaging and collaboration systems through an SMTP SMS Gateway component. In addition, the solution boasts a Microsoft Outlook plug-in, thus providing out of the box integration with the most popular desktop email and collaboration client for all authorised users.
The SMS Software application is designed to operate under Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP operating systems and runs as a ‘Service’. The Server Manager can be run from any Microsoft Windows 32 bit operating system and provides the management interface for administration of message queues, users and sessions.
The product facilitates the sending of text-based messages via three types of transport; Internet (Recommended), GSM and PSTN/TAP.
SMS Gateway
The SMTP SMS Gateway provides two-way text messaging and server-side integration with Groupware or messaging applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise.
Fundamentally the SMTP SMS gateway enables users to send and receive text messages directly from their inbox and avoid the implementation of any client-side software, which minimises configuration time.
With Active Directory support and ODBC addressing tools included in version 5, implementing SMS for your mail system has never been easier.
SMS Developer Tools
The Client API provides developers with the facilities to integrate M-Science SMS Server into any environment supporting ActiveX. All automation compatible languages including C++, Visual Basic, VB Script and Java Script can use the API.
It may well be that integration is required with specific operational systems including CRM, HR, ERP, Web Sites or Intranets. This integration is possible through the two developer tools listed below.
- Sms plug-in: The SMS Plug-in provides a template for creating an inbound message handler which can be used to accept inbound message data. This data may then be used as required by developers. e.g. sent to a database which is accessed by another application.
- Client API: The Client API provides developers with the facilities to integrate M-Science SMS Server into any environment supporting ActiveX. All automation compatible languages including C++, Visual Basic, VB Script and Java Script can use the API.
The API is not implemented using an ActiveX control, but rather an ActiveX DLL. This means that it is not created on a form like a control, but accessed using References in Visual Basic or CreateObject in VB/VBScript.
Business Benefits
Below are some of the most common benefits that M-Science SMS Server can provide to your organisation:
- Reduce telecommunications costs significantly
