Locally developed E-Button Platform drew attention in this year’s CommunicAsia, Asia’s largest knowledge-based information and communications technology event held in Singapore.

The E-Button Platform was originally designed as a means to quickly communicate an emergency to the proper authorities with a press of a button. Since then, the platform has evolved and can now be customized for use in customer service, roadside assistance, ordering, timekeeping, and as a virtual concierge system for hotels and villages.

“We received several leads from different countries and although none have commercial value just yet, we are confident that it will lead to partnerships in the near future,” said Junjun Fetizanan, president and general manager of Icon Interactive, Inc., developer of the E-Button Platform.

Lifeline Rescue, which is using the E-button platform for emergency response, is one of their biggest clients. “We can actually partner with BPM and contact center companies to offer the E-button platform for customer service to their clients. Instead of calling, they can just press buttons on their phone to inquire about billing, request for re-connection or give feedback,” said Fetizanan.

Drawing over 35,000 attendees, with more than 1,300 exhibitors from 49 countries, CommunicAsia featured technologies from mobile marketing, services and commerce; key broadband strategies; cloud technologies; enterprise mobility and other latest ICT products and services.

The Philippines has been participating in CommunicAsia for almost a decade. Led by the Information and Communications Technology Office of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ICTO) and the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), the Philippine delegation was composed of 10 ICT-related companies, including Icon Interactive.
