DataViz' RoadSync Extends the Capabilities of Windows Mobile 2003 by Adding Direct Push E-mail and Other Key Service Pack 2 Features



    RoadSync Continues to Fill the Gap Between New Mobility Features
    Added to Microsoft Exchange and Windows Mobile-Powered
    Devices Already in the Market

    DataViz, Inc., announced today that RoadSync, its Exchange
    ActiveSync client, is now available for mobile devices with Windows
    Mobile 2003 Second Edition software. In addition to wirelessly
    synchronizing e-mail, attachments, calendar and contacts, this edition
    of RoadSync supports new mobility features added in Microsoft Exchange
    Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) such as: Direct Push Technology,
    Remote Wipe, Global Address List Lookup and IT Policy Enforcement. As
    Microsoft Exchange added these new mobility features in SP2, a
    corresponding Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) was added to
    Windows Mobile 5.0 software, but there was still a need for comparable
    MSFP features for Windows Mobile 2003-based devices. DataViz has
    stepped in to fill this need with RoadSync by effectively delivering a
    similar feature pack for devices with Windows Mobile 2003 Second
    Edition software. This provides IT departments the ability to further
    maximize their existing device investments while offering mobility in
    a more secure and managed way.
    DataViz will also offer RoadSync for Windows Mobile 5.0. This
    version will build upon the current wireless synchronization
    capabilities while adding support for new Exchange 2007 productivity
    features such as: e-mail flagging, online mailbox search, support for
    linked SharePoint files and more.
    "As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) we are able to react
    quickly and extend the reach of the new mobility features added to
    Exchange, making those enhancements available to devices already
    shipping in the market today," said Ilya Eliashevsky RoadSync product
    manager, DataViz, Inc. "RoadSync for Windows Mobile 2003 makes the key
    SP2 features, such as Direct Push, available to the tens of thousands
    of Windows Mobile 2003 devices already in today's enterprises. As
    Exchange 2007 adds new mobility features we plan to subsequently make
    many of those features available for current devices running Windows
    Mobile 5.0."
    "The Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile offers
    e-mail and other updated Outlook items such as calendar, tasks and
    contacts, delivered to a device in real time, providing yet another
    option in how people stay connected to important information while on
    the go," said Chris Hill, group product manager, Microsoft Corp. "We
    are pleased that DataViz is bringing this experience to businesses and
    individuals currently using Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition-based
    devices."

    The following features are among those that are supported with
    RoadSync for Windows Mobile 2003 when installed in combination with
    SP2:

    Direct Push Technology

    Support for Direct Push Technology ensures that the device
    automatically receives new e-mail and other PIM data from a company's
    Exchange Server. RoadSync uses an HTTP connection with
    industry-standard SSL encryption to securely push e-mail, calendar and
    contact notifications to and from the device.

    Remote Wipe Security

    Through central device management tools, Exchange administrators
    can trigger a remote wipe to remove all sensitive data from the
    device. This security feature will help to ensure corporate data is
    not compromised when devices are lost or fall into the wrong hands.

    Global Address List (GAL)

    Over-the-air access to the corporate contact list, also known as
    GAL, provides a deeper level of mobile office connectivity while
    maintaining a local personalized and filtered contact list on the
    mobile device.

    Select IT Policies

    Support for select remotely enforced IT policies will provide
    Exchange administrators with the ability to manage user policies such
    as requiring a device password.

    Support for Exchange 2007

    DataViz will also have editions of RoadSync that will support many
    of the new mobility features in Exchange 2007 for a variety of
    platforms including Windows Mobile 5.0, Symbian S60 and UIQ 3.0.
