| Javna enriches its mobile services set with Epicenter® Yellow Pages |

Javna, the leading Arab firm in software solutions and wireless applications, revealed its new application "Epicenter® Yellow Pages" directed towards more than 85 million Arab mobile phone subscribers. The new application provides users and wireless carriers with the required infrastructure to inquire about any company, whether a trade institute or a governmental one, through their mobile phones, any time and any place.
Javna's Chief Executive Officer, Mansour Mansour said, "Abundancy of information is the same as its scarcity unless it is filtered and categorized in a way that allows users to obtain the information they want without difficulty. Providing comfort to mobile phone users prompted us to create practical solutions that guarantee supplying them with the required data and insures transmitting it to them at the location and time they desire. From there, the idea of developing a mobile yellow pages guide crystallized to enrich the value-added services that telecom companies offer to their clients, and to diversify mobile phones usage in the professional and practical life".
The guide enables users to inquire about any trade, industrial, governmental, non-government, or diplomatic facility and obtain all the information and data registered in the yellow pages guide that include the desired company's phone number, fax, and e-mail and postal addresses. In addition, the user can view the detailed geographic map of the selected facility's location.
Users can also save the result of their search as a business card in the list of contacts on their mobile phone, and send it to other people.
Mansour pointed out that users can also limit the margin of the search within a specific geographic area or a certain trade sector to enhance the accuracy and proficiency of the search.
On the other hand, Javna's Business Development Manager, Mahmoud Isweid, considered developing a mobile yellow pages guide as an additional stride that leverages the set of Javna's company Arabic solutions and enhances its presence in the regional and international scene. He added that this new innovation will boost Javna's status among international companies that employ mobile phones to serve the needs of the financial and business sector.

Isweid indicated that although the yellow pages directory service was started in 1883, it is still one of the most powerful commercial and promotional tools used in the world for its role in connecting buyers with sellers directly.
The mobile guide, which supports both the Arabic and English languages, provides wide scaled offers to serve companies and institutions, assist them in displaying their commercial advertisements, and promote their services and products through one of the easiest and fastest commercial media means.
