etreive Wins PC Magazine Innovation In Infrastructure Award
URL(s): www.etrieve.com
HILLSBORO, Ore. - etrieve, Inc., provider of real-time voice
and text access to office information from any phone, won the Wireless
Services Category in PC Magazine's first "Innovation in Infrastructure"
awards program announced Tuesday at the NetWorld+Interop networking event in
Las Vegas.
In a prepared statement PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Michael J. Miller said,
"these are the most interesting infrastructure products we've seen all
year." etrieve prevailed in the Wireless Services Category because its
mobile office solution exemplified the best and most advanced of today's
network infrastructure technologies. In addition, the publication said,
"(etrieve) has attracted some powerful partners and we expect that we'll
never be beyond the reach of our e-mail."
etrieve's mobile office solution offers real-time voice and text access to
corporate email, calendar and contact information from any phone. etrieve
connects seamlessly and securely with existing corporate office information
to offer the ability to listen and/or view email, calendar and contact
information and reply by voice or text, send new messages, prioritize
incoming messages, listen to attachments or print attached documents to a
nearby fax, and synchronize etrieve activity with the desktop.
"This award is a strong affirmation that we are on the right track with our
vision to build mobile office solutions that are easy to use, easy to
implement and cost effective for today's mobile workforce," said Mike Maerz,
chairman and CEO for etrieve, Inc.
Compared with other mobile office offerings, the etrieve solution delivers
true mobility with both voice and text access and international access
capabilities. In addition, etrieve is offered in the form factor that 110
million U.S. wireless subscribers have grown accustomed to - their existing
cell phone using their own voice. The etrieve mobile office solution is
also cost effective as it does not require the purchase of a new device.
For the IT manager, etrieve's solution is secure and easy to implement and
maintain. etrieve features SSL encryption, two-level password protection
and secure archiving protocols. The server software integrates seamlessly
with existing infrastructure and can be installed and maintained from a
central location for server management and end-user account set up. Since
etrieve is an application service provider, there's no need to worry about
hardware upgrades or maintenance.
"etrieve helps me stay more connected and organized," said Mike Skiens,
assistant vice president of marketing for The Standard Insurance Company, an
etrieve corporate customer. "The opportunity for increasing personal and
professional productivity is so great with etrieve."
Other recent honors for etrieve, Inc. include "Best of Show" at the Yankee
Group's Mobile.Net Conference in December 2000, inclusion in Computerworld's
"100 Emerging Companies to Watch in 2001" and M-business Magazine's "Most
Promising Newborns" list.
etrieve, Inc. is focused on making the mobile phone the practical extension
to the office. With etrieve, mobile business professionals can manage their
office email, calendar and contacts by voice, by text and by importance -
all from the phone they already have. Founded in 1998, etrieve combines the
reach of wireless technology, its Wireless Interchange Engine and robust
