On what was a gorgeous, sunny day, you now notice dark storm clouds fast approaching. The sun disappears behind overcast skies and swift gusts of wind begin to blow. Pouring rain, thunder and lightning commence. The storm is violent, but fortunately short-lived. The clouds, wind, and rain leave as quickly as they arrived, but not without knocking out power to you and your neighbors.
You pick up your phone to call your local EMC, Diverse Power, to inform them of the outage. Uh oh – the storm didn't spare your phone lines either. You grab your cell phone to check if you have a signal – yes! Remembering something about reporting an outage on your cell phone, you go to diversepower.com on your phone's internet browser. You click on 'report an outage' and complete the short form directly on your phone. Wow, that was easy and convenient. And in minutes, power is restored.
Developed by Kelsey Advertising & Design, Diverse Power now has a mobile-optimized website specifically programmed for mobile devices including iPhones, Blackberry's, PDAs, smart phones, and many others. When you browse to diversepower.com from these devices, you are automatically directed to Diverse Power Mobile (m.diversepower.com). From here you see a specialized version of the normal website with essential information to contact Diverse Power.
As described in the storm scenario, a most useful function of Diverse Power Mobile is reporting an outage from your mobile device. Since most home internet services (cable, DSL) rely on a router, a power interruption eliminates the internet as an option for reporting outages. Furthermore, many cordless telephones need power to operate. Thankfully for consumers, Diverse Power and Kelsey Advertising & Design have considered these factors while giving consumers a nifty tool to notify officials of power interruption.
But don't take our word for it. Grab your smart phone and browse to diversepower.com to see for yourself. See how our proprietary browser scripting forwards you to Diverse Power's mobile website automatically. It's a wonderful, smart process consumers will appreciate, especially when they really need it.
