Cutting Edge Software and Corsoft Enable Mobile Professionals to Send Wireless E-mail Attachments from Palm Powered Handhelds
URL(s): www.corsoft.net
DALLAS--April 16, 2002--
Users Can Now Send and Receive Documents and Spreadsheets From Palm OS Handhelds
Earlier this year, Cutting Edge Software and Corsoft Corporation teamed to enable mobile professionals to receive documents and
spreadsheets as email attachments on Palm Powered(TM) handheld computers via Corsoft's Aileron(TM) wireless email application and
Cutting Edge Software's Quickoffice(TM) productivity suite. Today, Cutting Edge Software is pleased to announce that users will now
have the ability to send Quickoffice documents and spreadsheets from their wireless Palm OS(R) devices as well. With the integration
between Quickoffice and Aileron, users of Palm Powered handhelds now have a simple means of sending and receiving spreadsheet and
document attachments via e-mail.
One of the key challenges faced by companies deploying Palm OS handhelds among employees is the conversion of files from MS
Excel and MS Word, the industry standard spreadsheet and word processing applications for desktop PCs, to Quicksheet and
Quickword, the leading spreadsheet and word processing applications for Palm Powered devices. The integration of Quickoffice and
Aileron provides a comprehensive solution to this challenge. Users of Microsoft Excel(TM) and Word on the desktop are able to e-mail
spreadsheets and documents to users of Palm OS devices with Quickoffice installed -- and the files will seamlessly convert to Quickoffice
formats during transmission. Likewise, Quickoffice users will be able to email spreadsheets and documents to MS Office users, and the
files will automatically be converted to the appropriate format for viewing and editing on desktop PCs.
"Our close relationship with Corsoft has greatly expanded the capabilities of mobile professionals to share and exchange information,"
said Michael Compeau, Cutting Edge Software's vice president of business development and planning. "E-mail access is critical for
today's mobile knowledge workers, and the teaming of Aileron with Quickoffice makes sending and receiving business documents very
efficient between mobile professionals and their office-bound colleagues."
"We are pleased to provide greater flexibility and extended value to mobile professionals," said Chirag Patel, president of Corsoft
Corporation. "Cutting Edge Software's Quickoffice integration with Aileron enables users to maximize productivity with their business
documents even when they are away."
Availability and Distribution
Cutting Edge and Corsoft are offering solutions aimed at both individual users and enterprise deployments of Palm OS handhelds.
Individuals can subscribe to Corsoft's e-mail service starting at $30 per year and automatically receive the benefits of being able to
receive Excel and Word attachments as Quicksheet and Quickword documents on their Palm OS handhelds. Corporations can install an
enterprise-edition of Aileron Server on their corporate network to enjoy end-to-end security of the information being transmitted via the
handheld devices. Corsoft Aileron Enterprise Server starts at $2,495 and includes a five-user Client Access License. Additional licenses
are available at $495 for a 10-set license pack.
As part of the co-marketing agreement between Cutting Edge Software and Corsoft, the firms will each provide information and
access to trial versions of both applications at their respective Web sites. Quickoffice is available for purchase online at Cutting Edge
Software's web site (www.quickoffice.com), as well as from leading online and retail locations including PalmGear.com and CompUSA
for $39.95. Quickoffice and Aileron are also available at Handango.com as a bundled solution for $49.95.
