Mobile Embrace will also work with Modapt in servicing its existing customers and provide implementation services and consultancy for Modapt’s USA resellers and customers. Revenue is generated from hosting, licensing and implementation fees.

Neil Wiles, Managing Director of Mobile Embrace, said: “We are excited to be partnering with Modapt. We share Modapt’s goal to provide users with the best possible experience on mobile.” “As the statistics show, currently very few websites are optimised for viewing on a mobile phone screen, making the user experience a poor one. Businesses must embrace mobile because that’s the way of the future. People will access the internet primarily on a mobile device and the ‘snacking’ mentality of mobile internet users means business must make a strong and meaningful first impression with how their website appears on a mobile device or the user will be gone.”
