URL(s): synchrologic.com
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., & ATLANTA, Oct. 30, 2001--
Partnership provides business professionals and IT with complete mobile enterprise computing solution for Handspring's Treo
communicators and Visor handhelds
Handspring (Nasdaq: HAND) and Synchrologic today announced an agreement to deliver enterprise-class mobile solutions based on
Synchrologic's iMobile Suite and Handspring's Treo communicators and Visor handhelds.
The partnership will support the trend towards using mobile devices in the enterprise to access groupware, databases, sales force
automation (SFA) information and customer relationship management (CRM) data. The companies will work together in an effort to bring
mobile and wireless hardware and software solutions to corporate customers.
Synchrologic's iMobile Suite is a comprehensive enterprise mobile and wireless infrastructure software solution that securely mobilizes
enterprise applications while providing the tools necessary to remotely manage occasionally connected devices. iMobile Suite is designed to
lower total cost of ownership of mobile devices while increasing the productivity and capabilities of mobile workers.
"Handspring's strength is in developing innovative devices and a great user experience around them, whether they are the targeted for the
consumer or the enterprise," said Lee Epting, director of enterprise sales for Handspring. "Synchrologic's experience and market
understanding make them an ideal partner as we take our products and make them effective and efficient in an enterprise environment."
"We have supported Handspring devices since inception and continue to be advocates of their products," said John Dancu, president and
COO of Synchrologic. "Our partnership delivers a powerful combination of mobile infrastructure with state-of-the-art usability so that with
one `tap' Handspring users can receive vital corporate information."
Handspring's Treo communicators and Visor handhelds are uniquely positioned in the enterprise market due to the flexibility of the
platform and the innovative design and user experience built into the product families. Both Treo and Visor offer elegant solutions, while also
encouraging cost savings and streamlined IT management. The consistency of the Springboard architecture in the over 60 modules shipping
today offer expansion solutions that can be used across the organization while standardizing on the Visor. Treo brings a greater level of
usability, convenience and value by combining a powerful organizer with advanced wireless voice and data applications while maintaining a
compact size.
