Business Wire, Oct 26, 2004

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- In its recent analysis titled Next Generation Mobile Enterprise Markets, Frost & Sullivan named JP Mobile as the recipient of the 2004 Mobile Office Innovative Solution of the Year Award.

Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has excelled in delivering innovative solutions for the mobile enterprise. JP Mobile has understood the unique needs of a mobile enterprise deployment and has consistently designed and provided high-performing, secure, and flexible solutions at affordable prices.

JP Mobile is receiving this prestigious Award for its SureWave Mobile Office solution, which allows enterprises to effectively and securely extend corporate data through handheld devices to employees. It simultaneously supports pocket PCs, Palm, Symbian, and RIM handhelds.

One of the distinctive features of the SureWave infrastructure is that it also supports mobile extensions of mail servers, as well as enterprise applications from a single platform.

"Frost & Sullivan believes that the SureWave solution is likely to materialize as a valuable tool for a range of businesses seeking to enhance workflow productivity and convert 'downtime' into 'productive time'," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Brett Iadarola.

High levels of product innovation, market acceptance, and customer response have propelled this solution to the forefront of attention.

Spurred by dynamic leadership, JP Mobile has implemented several growth initiatives that reinforce its position of strength in the mobile software industry. The SureWave Mobile Office solution truly empowers the mobile workforce by helping it securely access Microsoft Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 and e-mail/ personal information management (PIM) services from multiple hand-held devices such as Windows Mobile-based, Palm OS, Symbian OS, and RIM OS devices.

With the mobile enterprise markets on the verge of huge growth, the company remains focused on enhancing customer value and expanding its market presence.
