In a 4 week period, webtext.com has received 2 awards for innovation. The company, which is headquartered in Ireland with offices in the United States, has been recognised by the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG) and Galway Chamber of Commerce.

Webtext.com has been chosen as winner of the prestigious 2011 award for eBusiness Innovation by Galway Chamber of Commerce. Webtext.com CEO AJ Cahill accepted the award on behalf of the company and said “We have always taken pride in our ability to innovate relentlessly to provide users with rapid and targeted access to their customer base and to deliver this service with zero costs for set up and support.”

Hot on the heels of this honour, the company was selected by the ITLG as one of the finalists for the closed door Investor Workshops at the 2011 ITLG “Silicon Valley Comes to Ireland” event. The company had the opportunity to present to the ITLG delegation, including representatives of the investment arms of key multinational technology companies such as Cisco, AT&T & Intel.

The ITLG is an independent organization comprised of a number of high-level Irish or Irish-American technology leaders based in Silicon Valley. The next step in the process is the announcement in Spring 2012 of a short list of just 10 companies who will travel to Stanford for the 5th Annual ITLG/Irish Times Silicon Valley Awards in Spring 2012.

webtext.com, an innovative provider of business messaging and related services based in Ireland, is to open a U.S. office in Silicon Valley, California, hosted by the Irish Innovation Centre (IIC).

webtext.com has grown its business in Ireland and the UK dramatically since start-up just 2 years ago. But CEO AJ Cahill now recognises “If we are serious about reaching our objective of being the number one business messaging provider world-wide, the company must break into the U.S. market. The Silicon Valley office is a logical next step, providing the perfect base for expansion. The IIC programme makes this possible.” webtext.com will leverage their U.S. presence to build relationships with leading enterprise software providers and telecom operators.

The webtext.com service is cost effective, time effective and easily operated. It will connect seamlessly into existing back-office enterprise applications to provide SMS, voice, IM messaging and presence capabilities. No specialist training is needed; an existing customer database can be uploaded in minutes. Businesses benefit by having fast, traceable and unambiguous communication directly to their clients’ pockets, generating quantifiable response rates.

The webtext.com team take pride in their ability to respond rapidly to the bespoke requirements of their client base. No other specialist supplier has emerged who can deliver such rapid and targeted access to a customer base with zero costs for set up, service and support.

The IIC enables Irish entrepreneurs to establish a foothold in the heart of Silicon Valley, CA, and from there to access finance, customers, suppliers and staff needed to grow their enterprise.
