Intellisync extends wireless enterprise server platform by launching support for Windows Mobile-based Smartphones

Mobile Internet, The, May, 2004

Intellisync announced a new release of its Intellisync(R) Mobile Suite platform that extends the product's broad device support to include Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. The latest release of Intellisync Mobile Suite--version 5.5--also provides improvements both to server scalability and wireless sync performance, plus the ability to monitor and push email across enterprise workgroups without requiring a direct connection to the groupware server.

Intellisync Mobile Suite's new support of Windows Mobile-based Smartphones reflects Intellisync Corporation's goal of keeping mobile professionals in touch with essential enterprise data, regardless of device platform. Windows-based Smartphone users can take advantage of Intellisync Mobile Suite's client "push" capabilities, which use the IP-based network connectivity of Wi-Fi, WAN, or LAN networks to deliver "Always There" data--including email and PIM information--to mobile workers.

The latest release of Intellisync Mobile Suite also gives enterprise IT departments the ability to manage Windows Mobile-based Smartphones remotely from a centralized console--an important feature with the potential to dramatically lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) for Windows Mobile-based Smartphones and other devices such as handhelds and laptop PCs. With the Systems Management component of Intellisync Mobile Suite, IT administrators can:

--Automatically deploy and update mobile software over a network;

--Configure devices on an individual and group basis;

--Inventory their mobile device and software assets;

--Back up and restore device data;

--Take advantage of theft/loss control features that protect data when devices potentially fall into the wrong hands.
