We’re seeing a high level of interest and expect many of our Intellisync customers to utilize the program.”

* Heterogeneous Wireless Email offers mobilization of business and workflow processes, such as approvals, to be integrated with wireless email on a wide range of devices (Symbian, Windows Mobile, iPhone), as well as backend groupware systems (Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange)
* Comprehensive Device Management and Security including software distribution, inventory configuration enforcement, OS patch updates and remote control for both laptops and handhelds from a single web-based console
* Unique Outbound Connection Model that facilitates highly-secure communications with mobile devices connecting into the corporate network without requiring any open inbound ports
