In a bid to offer corporate technology to small businesses, 4SmartPhone has introduced the Growing Business Kit - a Hosted Exchange service package customized to meet the mobility needs of today's growing small businesses. 4SmartPhone has teamed with Palm, Global Wireless Data and Windows Mobile to develop the service package.

 

"To stay ahead of the competition, small businesses need the same tools readily available to bigger corporations, without compromising their small business agility," said Patrick Gilbert, president and CEO, 4SmartPhone in a statement to the press. "It is our intention to provide the best mobility service for small businesses that larger enterprises already enjoy. With Palm and Microsoft (News - Alert) onboard, we're excited to see the Growing Business Kit take off."

 

The Growing Business Kit features Palm Treo smartphones on America's leading wireless carriers - Alltel, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon (News - Alert) Wireless. The kit also includes, managed wireless services such as device replacement insurance, help desk for any customer service requirement or question and the benefits of Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

 

In addition, users will have the option to add SharePoint server hosting which allows for file sharing and collaboration. The Growing Business Kit also offers access to messaging applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile and the information workers need when they are away from the office. Enhanced security features to safeguard sensitive information with Windows Mobile 6, is also offered.

 

"The Treo's ease of use, combined with Hosted Exchange from 4SmartPhone and the power of Windows Mobile gives small businesses a familiar messaging and collaboration experience when they're on the go," said Gerardo A. Dada, director of marketing, Microsoft Corp. "By deploying this solution, users can access all of their critical information, from e-mail to contacts, anywhere at any time from their PC or Windows Mobile phone."
