Windows Mobile Customer Solution Case Study

BONSTETTEN, Switzerland -- Microsoft's case study titled "Mail Provider Deploys Mobility Solution with 40% Lower Total Cost of Ownership" summarizes Post Denmark's strategy to improve performance and enhance operations with comprehensive customer and mobile delivery information.

Post Denmark, after investigating a number of providers and devices, chose a mix of smartphones and mobile handheld scanners running Windows Mobile software for its 15,000 postal employees. It selected Softwired, an innovative mobility solutions specialist, to extended its iBus Mobile product so that Windows Mobile devices communicate seamlessly with Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE, formerly J2EE) applications servers e.g. SAPWAS, BEA-ORACLE running on Windows network servers. Post Denmark now guarantees delivery times at a TCO, 40% lower than alternative solutions. Softwired's CEO, Henry Wild: "It's a compelling Mobile Solution for firms to consider."

Mobile employees are more productive, while Post Denmark has real time data to improve its operations and deliver exceptional customer service. Post Denmark's CIO, Jens Risgaard says: "We're very happy with the combined Windows Mobile and iBus Mobile solution - and it costs significantly less than we expected."

Post Denmark's measurable benefits include:

* TCO significantly reduced

* Employees productivity increased

* Business operations enhanced

* Service delivery enhanced

* Deployment time reduced

* Reduced training costs for employees

* Reduced errors, increased transparency and improved efficiency

Post Denmark wanted to collect company and delivery data from its 15,000 postal employees to improve business operations and meet competitive challenges with a solution that could reliably convey large quantities of mobile data in real time to the company's network. Post Denmark wanted to integrate the Windows Mobile environment with the company's Java EE application servers, and turned to Softwired, who specialize in message oriented middleware software development, to provide its mobile solution and assist with integration.

Softwired extended its patented mobile solution, iBus Mobile, a unifying mobile technology - translating data between Windows applications on mobile devices and Java environments. The solution guarantees data delivery in real time over fragile mobile networks. See Case Study
