"Mobile telephony is growing tremendously all over the world, especially in developing nations. The market is immensely competitive and companies are looking for tailored products to retain and attract customers and therefore, business intelligence through customer behaviour analysis is critical," IBM India research lab director and chief technologist (IBM India/South Asia) Guruduth Banavar said.

IBM Research (India), which leads IBM Research's global mobile web initiatives, has been working on this technology for about two years now, he added.

The other technology — IBM customer analyst — is under development by IBM's lab in Israel. The technology focuses on understanding Internet users, particularly mobile telephone subscribers.
