Hello,

Our team, made of students from DESS Telecommunications and from Business Schools, has taken part to the "Challenge Jeunes Pousses" launched by the Telecom Valley in order to create our own firm : DLPMbility.

This project is based on an emerging technology which enables the migration of running applications from one type of support to another (eg Desktop, Laptop, PDA, Smartphones,...) while preserving one-line working conditions, context, specific parameters, history and connectivity.

Thus, so that we can upgrade our services, and in order to build up an accurate picture of your needs and requirements, we are organizing a survey for our prospects. We would be grateful to you if you could fill this form and send it back to us.
