We are in talks with mobile companies in Eastern Europe that realise that the value of the billing could be split off in different directions for different services to appease the cost concerns of the consumer and allow them to get value in other ways,” Travers adds.Īfter only eight months in existence, Agile was acquired by a bigger US rival called MoreMagic Holdings for an undisclosed sum.

Individuals are actually finding themselves stunned when they open their bills and finding the cost of the combined bill astronomical. “Take for example the trend towards combined billing where everything from electricity, internet access and phone calls are put together. “There are more collaborations being formed between telecoms companies and financial institutions where no single party wants the responsibility of the sophisticated infrastructure required to deliver a mobile payments services and all parties want a rapid time to market for their services,” he explains.

In fact, as Travers explains, the company’s hosted software platform is based on m-payment technology from MoreMagic, the US company that has implemented its mobile technology on networks throughout the world. Both Kyne and Travers have a combined total of 25 years’ management and research and development experience locally and internationally in companies such as Compaq, Novell, Vision and Cap Gemini and start-up ventures such as Digital Channel Partners, MobileAware and Network365. Earlier this year the company was instrumental in helping Cable & Wireless in Guernsey to engage in mobile top-up technology as part of a solution that enables mobile phone customers to purchase a credit voucher stored in a virtual wallet.Īgile was set up specifically to remove the barriers to putting in place a mobile payments platform and enable enterprises to use intelligent wireless services without the headaches that go hand in hand with owning a complex and sophisticated infrastructure. So far the company has struck gold in hosting applications for mobile operators in Eastern Europe, Asia and locally. Modelling themselves as an applications service provider (ASP) Agile located itself at the former WorldPort data centre in Blanchardstown and set about developing applications that will define the future of mobile payment and infotainment. It was only in May last year that Travers and his colleague Enda Kyne used their own funds to establish the company. He even has a solution in mind for bored husbands who get dragged along on shopping expeditions when they would much rather be at home, sipping a cool beer while watching the match. In one minute Travers will have hopped fluidly from explaining how football match advertisers can get better revenue from football supporters with mobile phones who arrive to a stadium early and giving them incentives to buying merchandise and partaking in identifying the man of the match to how buying tickets to attend a rock concert in the next year or two could be a purely wireless experience through the use of MMS barcoding. Travers ( pictured) gushes with enthusiasm when he talks about future business and consumer applications for mobile and how some of these applications will affect our future enjoyment of football matches and rock concerts.

He warns mobile operators and service providers not to jump on the 3G bandwagon just yet… at least, not until the full potential of 2.5G has been exploited. Lee Travers, whose company Agile was recently acquired by a US mobile software company, has his finger on the pulse in terms of the future services and applications that will drive mobile commerce.
