(TSXV: CKM) today announced that one of the world’s largest investment managers has signed a software licensing agreement for Mobile chalkboard™, Chalk’s BlackBerry® communication software. Mobile chalkboard™ will be used to cut overhead and save money on internal training and priority communications.
