Over the past year, the market for wireless email software has consolidated through some important acquisitions, including Sybase's acquisition of Extended Systems, leaving only a few vendors of "behind the firewall" software that meet the criteria of a real enterprise-class solution. The partnership between Messaging Architects and Extended Systems has enabled the OneBridge technology through the GWAnywhere solution to extend its reach to Novell GroupWise as the third major collaboration platforms to which it delivers email, in addition to Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus Notes.

According to Gartner, wireless email use has grown aggressively during the past year, noting that wireless email is now considered a strategic infrastructure investment.
