Mobile synchronisation is fast proving its potential and in doing so, changing the way businesses communicate and operate for the better.
Enterprise Connection is once again at the heart of this technology as a result of continued product innovation. A recent and impressive contract with Hewlett-Packard confirms Enterprise Connection with its esteemed product, Mobility, as a committed and influential player in this area of the IT industry.
Equally committed to superior business standards and technology innovation, Hewlett-Packard South Africa is a global Microsoft Platinum Partner and a company very much in tune with its communication demands and needs.
Staff members are expected to travel overseas frequently while local marketing and support network commitments also demand much time travelling around the country. Keeping their fingers on the pulse of the business at the same time is a tall order, but one that has been easily facilitated through the home-grown knowledge, experience and technology of Enterprise Connection.
Although Enterprise Connection is active in several areas, its core skills lie with Microsoft technology. It is, after all, a Microsoft Gold Partner, and keen to maintain this status. The Enterprise Connection and HP relationship has become a showcase for the solution, founded on a mutual understanding of the core Microsoft technology.
"This solution is essentially based on answering HP`s business needs for productivity, workflow and cost control," says Mncedisi Mayekiso, Executive Director of Enterprise Connection. "And is the reason we design solutions from the ground up, to meet the criteria of each individual company."
Having analysed, evaluated and understood HP`s expectations, the solution provided has now equipped the company with the technical infrastructure HP`s mobile executives require to do business effectively and easily anywhere in the world.
"HP`s mobile solution will work with Windows 2000, Windows XP or Window Mobile and in addition to this the Palm and Symbian O/S," says Johan de Villiers, Executive Director of Enterprise Connection. "It leverages the abilities of Exchange Server 2003, but is backwards compatible with Exchange 5.5 and 2000. We have also implemented accelerator technology to make the features of Exchange Server and the Outlook interface available even via the relatively slow GSM connection standard."
Other advanced features include ODBC synchronisation, complete backup and restore services, efficient file synchronisation for e-mail handling and the ability to do advance file distribution to and from different file system platforms. And the response has proven particularly positive.
As the world moves towards greater mobility, business can rest assured that SA`s home-grown talent is a step ahead, anticipating change and creating the kind of mobile synchronisation solutions companies, like HP, have come to expect, demand and thrive on.
