Intellisync Corporation, a leading developer and marketer of wireless software for the worldwide mobile communications industry, today announced that its award-winning Intellisync Mobile Suite platform will soon support Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry devices. Currently, many enterprises purchase a proprietary server and a service to support BlackBerry devices, as well as the software required to manage all other mobile devices in the enterprise. Intellisync Mobile Suite will manage nearly every mobile device - including BlackBerry - in the enterprise for email, security, enterprise application/data push and more.
Intellisync Mobile Suite`s tools allow the enterprise to secure, control and manage BlackBerry and virtually any other device, including the palmOne Treo, Pocket PCs, laptops, tablets and more - from a single platform. With BlackBerry support, Intellisync Mobile Suite`s benefits will be greater than ever before:
* Manage All Mobile Devices Via One Network Server. With Intellisync Mobile Suite managing their wireless email and device network, enterprises can offer the latest mobile applications to all of their users on the devices they want to use. Mobile workers - from executives to remote salespeople to field maintenance operators - can choose devices ranging from BlackBerry to Treo smartphones to tablet PCs, all of which will be managed from a single server with award-winning Intellisync software.
* Provide Ease of Use for Device Users. Mobile Suite will support all of BlackBerry`s built-in applications - with no need for users to adapt to a new, unfamiliar solution for email, calendar, contacts and other capabilities.
* Push Enterprise Apps Like CRM and SFA to the BlackBerry and Virtually Any Other Mobile Device, including laptop and tablet PCs, Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, and handhelds based on the Palm, Pocket PC and Symbian operating systems.
"Intellisync has earned the reputation of being an `open platform` mobility provider, committed to supporting the industry`s broadest range of devices and applications," said J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D, principal analyst for MobileTrax LLC.
"Intellisync now will offer an alternative to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for organizations that want additional mobility capabilities, including device management and the extension of mission-critical enterprise data. Intellisync also provides a powerful alternative for enterprises looking to a wide range of device types, including BlackBerry, using a single platform."
Upgrade enterprise device management
With this latest development, Intellisync will allow organizations to enjoy the benefits of top-ranking device hardware and mobile software. Intellisync`s enhanced mobile security, push-enabled systems management, and smartphone support were recently cited in a comprehensive research report published by IDC, a leading industry analyst firm.
"Full-featured mobile device management (MDM) solutions are a critical component in enterprise mobility deployment projects," explained Stephen Drake, program manager, Mobile Infrastructure Software, for IDC. "As enterprises become more aware of the benefits of mobile device management, companies such as Intellisync can expect increased success in selling its MDM solution to customers purchasing one or more of its mobile offerings."
Intellisync extends the value of BlackBerry devices
By installing Intellisync Mobile Suite for BlackBerry, enterprises will not only provide secure wireless email to a wider array of mobile devices - they will also mobilize enterprise applications, pushing in real-time any enterprise applications right to the device. Today, more and more corporations are looking beyond wireless email. With the increased adoption of mobile devices like BlackBerry in the corporate workforce, operation managers want to capture the full benefits that mobility can deliver. Thus, they are seeking to mobilize enterprise applications to drive business value with solutions such as salesforce automation and field service.
"Intellisync has enjoyed a long relationship with RIM and its highly popular BlackBerry devices," explained Intellisync CEO Woodson (Woody) Hobbs. "With our Intellisync Mobile Suite platform, we are now looking forward to expanding our support of BlackBerry. We intend to provide BlackBerry users with the best of both worlds - the ability to continue using the devices they love while dramatically expanding the range of enterprise information they can access. In addition, enterprise IT departments can now manage all mobile devices - BlackBerry, Treo smartphones, Pocket PCs and more - with a single server, with extensive device management capabilities that have the potential of lowering total cost of ownership for all of their mobile assets."
