Short Message Server delivers text messaging direct to the desktop, massively reducing the amount of relatively expensive text-based calls made to cellular phone and pager companies. Not only does it work out to be cheaper it also saves time, mainly due to the fact that typing on a PC keyboard is far quicker than entering text on a mobile device.

The system exploits your existing investment in cellular devices and LAN functionality as company mobile phones and pagers can be used even more, by sending SMS messages to them as well as using them for voice and data communication. As Short Message Server sits on the LAN, existing messaging tools can work with it. For instance, if your company uses MS Exchange and Outlook, SMS messages can be sent from within Outlook as easily as sending an email, removing the need for any Short Message Server client role out.
