DataViz to Provide Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Connectivity for New M600 and P990 Smartphones; Sony Ericsson M600 and P990 are the First UIQ 3.0 Smartphones to Ship with Integrated Exchange ActiveSync Technology
DataViz announced today a partnership with Sony Ericsson
to provide Exchange ActiveSync connectivity for Sony Ericsson's new
Symbian OS based UIQ 3.0 smartphones, both the M600 and P990. The
Exchange ActiveSync mailbox and synchronization engine included on
these new smartphones is powered by DataViz' RoadSync which provides
secure, wireless and "Direct Push" synchronization of corporate
e-mail, calendar, contacts and attachments from Exchange Server 2003.
Both DataViz and Sony Ericsson are official licensees of the Exchange
ActiveSync protocol from Microsoft.
According to industry analyst firm, The Radicati Group, 33% of
corporations worldwide currently use Microsoft Exchange as their
insourced corporate messaging solution, and this market share is
anticipated to rise to 39% by 2009. Additionally, by 2009, the
corporate wireless e-mail install base is projected to increase from
6.5 million to 123 million*. Given the expected growth of both
corporate Exchange mailboxes along with corporate wireless e-mail, the
inclusion of Exchange ActiveSync functionality allows Sony Ericsson
and DataViz to deliver an integrated push e-mail solution for more
enterprise customers who rely on Exchange for their messaging needs.
"As more enterprises take advantage of the mobility features built
directly into Exchange Server 2003, our RoadSync technology provides
the M600 and P990 with essentially the same level of push
synchronization of Windows Mobile 5 equipped handsets that have the
Messaging & Security Feature Pack installed," said Rob Hoxie, Director
of Business Development for DataViz, Inc. "Sony Ericsson's new devices
offer a quality brand, user-friendly experience and enterprise-grade
functionality which we believe will be highly popular and help to
extend Exchange ActiveSync and push e-mail to more corporate
customers."
"Secure mobile access to e-mail, calendar and other business data
are core requirements for mobile professionals who need to maintain
communication with clients and colleagues while out of the office,"
said Henrik Voigt, Director, Head of Enterprise Solutions, Sony
Ericsson. "Working closely with DataViz has allowed us to achieve a
tight integration of Exchange ActiveSync functionality into our
portfolio of smartphones and solutions."
