Company Profile
Directors Stewart Robinson and Roger Klein both have many
years of experience in the IT industry and the Financial Services sector. They
have worked together with Astute since 2000 to deliver portfolio management
tools to financial intermediaries and were
responsible for the first software to be licensed by Astute for download of
information from the Astute switch. They were appointed in early 2004 to develop
and project manage the introduction of Astute’s mobile offering. AstuteSMS™
formed an ideal platform on which to develop Utext™’s robust mobile
infrastructure, which caters for either a passive or active response from the
backend database or website.
