HQ.SE and Ericsson develop business solutions for mobile Internet

HQ.SE and Ericsson Business Consulting has signed a cooperation agreement
regarding mobile Internet solutions. The goal of the initiative is to
create and further develop state-of-the-art online stock brokerage
business solutions via mobile Internet.
"Mobile Internet solutions give our customers opportunities to trade
stocks when they want, where they want," says Nicklas Storåkers, CEO,
HQ.SE Fondkommission. "Ericsson's leading-edge competence in this area
enables us to be at the forefront in this area."
The partners will develop a solution for financial services via Ericsson's
new WAP telephones. The development will target functions that enable
clients to buy and sell stocks and derivatives via HQ.SE, stock quotes,
price alerts and access to analyses and financial news.

"HQ.SE is a natural, strategic partner because it's a strong player in the
finance sector," says Thomas Thard, Senior Business Advisor at Ericsson
Business Consulting. "We use our technological competence and our know-how
within strategic business development to find new business solutions. We
will be the leader in the mobile Internet business solutions area - an
area that we prioritize."
