Umundo enables time, place and platform-shifting to deliver content, when users want it, where they want it and regardless of the carrier or mobile device.
"We push digital media content to the consumer through an Opt-in model thereby making content chase the consumer rather than consumer searching for content of interest", said Shaheer Ahmed, EVP, Umundo Corporation, "Opt-in Push model is the single most powerful differentiator between us and other services in the digital media space" continued Shaheer.
"Umundo does for media/news/advertising, what RIM Blackberry does to email; the technology is available throughout the globe."
Umundo is positioned as being the solution of choice for a variety of users, including consumer who can listen, view, customize, and share content for free when and where they want it and on the device of their choice; and content creators can push content to mobile phones including iPhones, iPods, PDAs and even social networking platforms such as Orkut, Facebook, Bebo, MySpace, MyYahoo and others.

Advertisers can also benefit as they can automatically push targeted pre-roll and post-roll, as well as in-roll advertisements to audiences on mobile and Web platforms.
"One of the great examples of how people and communities are using Umundo is Nagpur's very own annual students cultural festival organized by VNIT - Aarohi. Umundo has associated with Aarohi 2008 as official Digital Partner by lending its platform for digital coverage of the event. With this feat, VNIT alumnus, friends and families can not only view Aarohi events as they unfold at the auditorium, but they can also participate in choosing winners of various contests by rating contest participants - right from their cell phones or on web", claimed Shaheer.
Umundo Inc. is a non-traditional digital media platform whose success has come from leveraging its extensive knowledge of content syndication technologies like RSS feed parsing, tagging, optimization and management to enable the delivery of digital content.
The company's patent-pending content distribution technology includes an interoperable mobile delivery platform that is available to non-profits, film-makers, businesses, college students and many more. Based in Fremont, California, Umundo's name comes from the Spanish word "mundo" which means 'World'; Umundo is "Your Entertainment World".
As consumers increasingly become more mobile, the demand for solutions on their mobile devices will continue to increase. Mobile video especially has seen significant demand, creating a full range of opportunities for vendors and developers, such as Umundo. The key to market dominance, however, is to ensure that their solutions continue to innovate and address consumer wants before they become obvious to the consumer.
