Intellisync to Enhance Mobile Enterprise Interoperability With Intellisync(R) Mobile Suite(TM)
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 9 -- Intellisync
Corporation (Nasdaq: SYNC), a leading developer and marketer of wireless
software for the worldwide mobile communications industry, today announced
that its award-winning Intellisync(R) Mobile Suite(TM) platform will soon
support Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry(TM) devices. Currently, many
enterprises purchase a proprietary server and a service to support BlackBerry
devices, as well as the software required to manage all other mobile devices
in the enterprise. Intellisync Mobile Suite will manage nearly every mobile
device -- including BlackBerry -- in the enterprise for email, security,
enterprise application/data push and more.
Intellisync Mobile Suite's tools allow the enterprise to secure, control
and manage BlackBerry and virtually any other device, including the palmOne
Treo, Pocket PCs, laptops, tablets and more -- from a single platform. With
BlackBerry support, Intellisync Mobile Suite's benefits will be greater than
ever before:
-- Manage All Mobile Devices Via One Network Server. With Intellisync
Mobile Suite managing their wireless email and device network,
enterprises can offer the latest mobile applications to all of their
users on the devices they want to use. Mobile workers -- from
executives to remote salespeople to field maintenance operators -- can
choose devices ranging from BlackBerry to Treo smartphones to tablet
PCs, all of which will be managed from a single server with
award-winning Intellisync software.
-- Provide Ease of Use for Device Users. Mobile Suite will support all of
BlackBerry's built-in applications -- with no need for users to adapt
to a new, unfamiliar solution for email, calendar, contacts and other
capabilities.
-- Push Enterprise Apps Like CRM and SFA to the BlackBerry and Virtually
Any Other Mobile Device, including laptop and tablet PCs, Windows
Mobile-based Smartphones, and handhelds based on the Palm, Pocket PC
and Symbian operating systems.
"Intellisync has earned the reputation of being an 'open platform'
mobility provider, committed to supporting the industry's broadest range of
devices and applications," said J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D, principal analyst for
MobileTrax LLC. "Intellisync now will offer an alternative to the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server for organizations that want additional mobility
capabilities, including device management and the extension of
mission-critical enterprise data. Intellisync also provides a powerful
alternative for enterprises looking to a wide range of device types, including
BlackBerry, using a single platform."
UPGRADE ENTERPRISE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
With this latest development, Intellisync will allow organizations to
enjoy the benefits of top-ranking device hardware and mobile software.
Intellisync's enhanced mobile security, push-enabled systems management, and
smartphone support were recently cited in a comprehensive research report
published by IDC, a leading industry analyst firm.
"Full-featured mobile device management (MDM) solutions are a critical
component in enterprise mobility deployment projects," explained Stephen
Drake, program manager, Mobile Infrastructure Software, for IDC. "As
enterprises become more aware of the benefits of mobile device management,
companies such as Intellisync can expect increased success in selling its MDM
solution to customers purchasing one or more of its mobile offerings."
INTELLISYNC EXTENDS THE VALUE OF BLACKBERRY DEVICES
By installing Intellisync Mobile Suite for BlackBerry, enterprises will
not only provide secure wireless email to a wider array of mobile
devices -- they will also mobilize enterprise applications, pushing in
real-time any enterprise applications right to the device. Today, more and
more corporations are looking beyond wireless email. With the increased
adoption of mobile devices like BlackBerry in the corporate workforce,
operation managers want to capture the full benefits that mobility can
deliver. Thus, they are seeking to mobilize enterprise applications to drive
business value with solutions such as salesforce automation and field service.
"Intellisync has enjoyed a long relationship with RIM and its highly
popular BlackBerry devices," explained Intellisync CEO Woodson (Woody) Hobbs.
"With our Intellisync Mobile Suite platform, we are now looking forward to
expanding our support of BlackBerry. We intend to provide BlackBerry users
with the best of both worlds -- the ability to continue using the devices they
love while dramatically expanding the range of enterprise information they can
access. In addition, enterprise IT departments can now manage all mobile
devices -- BlackBerry, Treo smartphones, Pocket PCs and more -- with a single
server, with extensive device management capabilities that have the potential
of lowering total cost of ownership for all of their mobile assets."
