It works on all network connections including GPRS, 3G, GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth, 802.11, cradle and infrared.

Sean Glansbeek, director at PDA Consulting, says: "Our solution are aimed at those who belong to an ever-growing sector of mobile professionals who need secure offline, semi-connected and real-time synchronisation to corporate information. Now with our latest technology, we have the ability to push both groupware and database information to always connected devices.

In this mobile world, electronic data is continually being updated with no effort, which gives employees in the field and the employees in the office the most up-to-date information; which in turn gives your business the power to make faster, more precise decisions and impact the bottom line more quickly. With the right use of technology, corporate workers have access to all relevant systems whether it`s account history and contacts, activities, product catalogue, order status, or inventory independent of time and location. They are automatically alerted by the system should a customer require immediate assistance.
