Education, Utilities and Government - Education solutions for delivery of exam results, absentee reports, and timetables 
using SMS. SMS solutions for meter reading, parking meter payments and tollway fees

Solution Overview
There are many opportunities to implement SMS applications within the Government, Utilities and Education sectors.

Within government, SMS could eventually replace services which have expensive infrastructure and resource costs. This includes parking fee payments using EkoPAY, local government fees and charges like dog registrations, as well as government asset look-up databases using SMS.

Within Utilities, there are opportunities to leverage the existing workforce mobile phones for the collection of meter readings for water, power and gas services. Eko's solution provides a interactive workflow facility that guides readers to each new location after submission to the previous reading.
