Synchronica Launches Push e-Mail Solution For Businesses

Synchronica, a provider of mobile e-mail and synchronisation solutions, has launched an affordable, industry-standard push e-mail and synchronisation middleware enabling enterprises to connect entry-level devices to corporate networks. Synchronica Mobile Gateway Enterprise Edition is a self-care solution that works on a wide variety of mobile handsets, so employers do not need to invest in a fleet of expensive new smartphones in order to cascade mobile e-mail down the organisation.

Synchronica Mobile Gateway Enterprise Edition is targeted at SMEs, as well as the middle/ junior management layers in large enterprises where it can complement existing smartphone-based solutions. It is available immediately and can be purchased, downloaded and deployed on a mobile phone fleet within a few hours.

The solution provides carrier-grade security and scalability and has already been selected by a major Indian bank for its middle and junior management tiers. The bank is in the process of deploying Mobile Gateway Enterprise Edition to an initial 10,000 employees, to supplement the smartphones used by executive staff.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, says, “We felt there was a gap in the market for a low-cost, business-grade mobile e-mail and synchronisation solution that could be installed on the corporate network and managed internally as an alternative to a hosted solution. In today’s climate, where the focus is on improving employee productivity and keeping costs down, an affordable self-care mobility solution hits the right spot.”

Mobile Gateway Enterprise Edition includes a Microsoft Windows installer allowing businesses to install and host it on their own servers.

Mobile Gateway Enterprise Edition key features include:

- Supports Microsoft Exchange, Sun Java Communications Suite, and IBM Lotus Domino corporate e-mail servers, as well as IMAP/POP3 consumer e-mail back-ends

- Based on the dominant open industry standards Push IMAP (IMAP IDLE) for mobile e-mail and SyncML (OMA DS) for synchronisation of contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes

- Zero-footprint architecture requires no additional client software to be installed on the handset

- Built-in over-the-air device provisioning (OMA CP) using self-care portal enables end-users to configure their devices automatically without requiring corporate IT involvement

- Administration portal keeps setup and ongoing management to a minimum and enables IT administrators to define individual and group policies for e-mail, contact, calendar, task and note entries
