(Nasdaq: BVSN), the leading worldwide supplier of personalized e-business applications, and Cellmania, the leading provider of location centric wireless content and commerce business solutions, announce today their partnership to deliver location and preference based m-business applications to their joint customers.
Using the combined technologies of Cellmania and BroadVision, businesses can create compelling applications for m-commerce and m-portals. The cross-selling and personalization capabilities of BroadVision and Cellmania's time- and location-based commerce currently offer joint customers two out-of-the-box applications, Cellmania's mStore™ and mFinder™. mStore allows businesses, like Office Depot and Motorola, to offer wireless products and services to their consumers as an e-commerce or m-commerce site.

An example of the integration can be found at Cellmania's own Web site, http://www.cellmania.com
