Following the successful completion of a pilot project underway since May this year, Telenor, IBM Norway and Lotus have confirmed the release of a WAP-enabled solution that enables employees to have direct access to their company`s intranet using their own mobile phones.
Dubbed IntraWAP, the application has been under development since March, says Lesego Tlhabanelo, marketing communications manager at Lotus Development SA.
The solution enables authorised employees to penetrate a company`s firewall and gain access to the local intranet without compromising security. "You can read your office e-mail, and use the calendar function on your personal computer," he says.
What makes IntraWAP so alluring, according to Tlhabanelo, is that it allows users to read and respond to office e-mails from a device that is considerably more cost effective than a laptop.
"This proven, end-to-end WAP solution catapults companies into real-world, wireless productivity. By incorporating Domino Everyplace into the IntraWAP solution, organisations are now able to cost-effectively extend their knowledge base to mobile workers, " he says.
