Trinity(TM) 3.0 Delivers Value-Added Services And Content

For Wireless Carriers While Reducing Time To Market

Davinci Technologies Inc., a provider of enterprise-class web and wireless products, today launched Trinity 3.0, an upgraded version of its software that enables wireless carriers worldwide to rapidly develop and deploy robust, scalable vertical market applications. Trinity provides value added applications and a framework for wireless and web-based solutions that run on any carrier network and can be used on any browser-enabled or SMS device.

Shipping immediately, Trinity(TM) 3.0 is the latest version of Davinci's carrier-grade software, originally introduced into the marketplace in 1998. The product's base functionality is a device-independent transactional XML application server coupled with a set of industry-targeted business modules and component-based legacy system connectors.

Trinity(TM) 3.0 enables wireless carriers worldwide to provide unprecedented levels of customer care to the web-enabled devices of their clients' choice. By accessing the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway and using this standard for communication, Trinity allows carriers' subscribers to manage their accounts how, when and where they choose. Trinity(TM) 3.0 allows business to:

- Manage customer profiles. Aggregates data from any number or type of information sources, allowing customers to manage one or more accounts from a centralized point.

- Offer electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP) capabilities. This allows users to view, sort, query and customize billing data, enabling customers to access detailed usage reports, summaries and record transactions through their wireless device and their PC-based web browser. This capability also includes bill payment and scheduling of alerts to notify customers of due dates, additional charges and other important information.

- Improve alerts functionality. Allows communication with subscribers for important account or service updates, promotional messaging and targeted marketing.

- Offer universal registration. Data is kept secure via user authentication and application of associated business rules. Since all data is centrally maintained, multiple logins are no longer necessary. This results in a more positive user experience.

- Update data query capabilities and interact with legacy systems. Trinity is able to read and write data from any system source including: any relational or object-oriented database, legacy mainframe and midrange applications, HTTP, LDAP, CORBA, socket connections and proprietary API's.

"Trinity(TM) 3.0 is one of the only products available which bundle all the required functional knowledge to truly satisfy the needs of wireless users," said Alan Lysne, Chief Technology Officer, Davinci Technologies Inc. "With speed to market being more critical than ever before, Trinity(TM) 3.0 will position wireless carriers to rapidly deploy services in today's time-sensitive and competitive marketplace. It truly enables companies to focus on their business instead of technology."

Technical advancements to Trinity(TM) 3.0 include:

- XML Server component. Updates to the functionality of the XML server component allow Trinity(TM) 3.0 to optimize data convergence, particularly valuable to customer care solutions. The ability to converge multiple bills, for example, into one view and to query bill components separately for customized information is critical. This creates a virtual data source available to all enterprise applications.

- Cache Engine. Trinity(TM) 3.0 offers increased performance and scalability for the application. Caching enhancements ensure data previously stored is merely updated on demand instead of re-gathered, resulting in faster access to information. Rules are also applied to cached data, facilitating the expiration of unused or outdated data. This decreases the burden on the server during updates to profile information, display of billing information and other functions.

- Event Logging and Reporting. Trinity(TM) 3.0 offers wireless carriers enhanced reporting capabilities. Logging of users, transactions and other activities allows for comprehensive reporting on a specific application, facilitating more accurate and timely monitoring than ever before.

"With the functional richness demanded by wireless users rapidly on the rise, it's interesting to see the proactive steps by companies like Davinci," said Mark Quigley, Senior Analyst, Yankee Group Canada. "Wireless technologies are changing the rules of business and it's critical for operators to stay connected to their increasingly decentralized customers."
