MOBILE ENTERPRISE
The Palm i705 Wireless Messaging Solution satisfies the needs of today's business world
By Steve Niles
As business computing goes increasingly mobile, the transition is having a profound effect on enterprises, developers, and software vendors alike. Each group has its own concerns as it attempts to stay current in this new environment. Jonathan R. Oakes, Palm's Director of Enterprise Strategy and Planning and the former CEO of ThinAirApps (at http://www.thinairapps.com) recently discussed Palm's enterprise software strategy designed to help enterprises, developers, and software vendors get the products and services they need. Oakes began by outlining the concerns of each group.
Enterprises Enterprises have more mobile workers than ever before, and they need solutions that provide greater productivity when working on the road. Enterprises also have increasing security concerns around mobile information. How do companies protect confidential corporate documents when they're being carried around electronically on handheld devices or sent over the airwaves as wireless email? Speaking of email, enterprises need an integrated, end-to-end solution for mobile email. They also need to lower support and deployment costs and to find answers to their fears about manageability problems.
Developers In this world of mobile computing, developers have their own unique challenges. They need find ways to deliver enterprise applications and data to handheld devices. Oakes says that they best way to do this is to extend existing business logic to the device through common standards and to leverage their existing skills and development tools. Ideally, the developers will find a way to reduce the difficulty of developing mobile solutions.
Traditional software vendors Software vendors also need to extend their solutions to Palm handhelds and need a faster way to "mobilize" applications. They want their software to seamlessly run on all devices and networks.
The Palm i705 Wireless Messaging Solution Fulfilling these needs and addressing these concerns is the goal of the Palm i705 Wireless Messaging Solution. This enterprise-class, end-to-end, behind-the-firewall, wireless messaging solution, based on the new Palm i705 wireless handheld was announced on January 28, 2002. It's designed to directly address the manageability, support, and security concerns of IT managers who are deploying handhelds to large numbers of mobile workers.
