UtilIT has developed an automated virtual IT infrastructure for small and mid size enterprises allowing users to subscribe to applications (Microsoft Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat Professional, QuickBooks, etc.) and IT features (data storage, protections, back up, hosted Exchange email, Hosted BlackBerry, Treo, Windows Mobile) all via the Internet. The company has over 1,300 end users and partnerships with Microsoft, Citrix, HP, Salesforce.com and others. CEO Chris Boone asserts that his fully maintained SaaS platform is gathering interest from large and small enterprises, ISPs, hosting companies and ISVs alike.
Convergent Mobile Devices is still in semi-stealth mode. Their new products MobiTags (interactive print advertising 2-D tags for camera phones) and MobiZones (not yet released as of this date) are aimed at the burgeoning market for mobile advertising. This may be a slight morphing for CMD, which previously was only focused on MobiPlay,a technology that claims to give users true portability of their content. (For example users could play full size videos on their mobile phones off smart flash drives)
Rallypoint was formed by Rocket Ventures' Jeff Allen and David Adams to deliver to your TV every form of Internet content (multiple scores, chat, IM, photos, videos, traffic...) you would ever want to see on your big screen (while watching the Raiders lose...) They plan to bypass cable providers and use multiple platforms including IPTV set-top boxes and new Internet enabled TV sets. Alpha stage.
