Comments on the News
"Breaking free from the constraints of the status quo and finding opportunity with new solutions for 'service everywhere.' This is TOA's fresh approach to the next generation of mobile workforce and customer experience management, bringing the 1960s idealism and sunny optimism to businesses that manage mobile workforces of all sizes," according to Yuval Brisker, co-founder and CEO of TOA Technologies. "Just as the 1960s free thought movement challenged norms to achieve a more collaborative, connected societal force, ultimately building the ideas for the great technological revolutions of today, TOA believes it is time to tap the power of social, mobile and location, paired with predictive and context-aware cloud computing, to launch the movement for true mobile business optimization.
