As the #1 platform-independent wireless messaging company, Intellisync's carrier-grade, push technology platform with broad patent protection, allows wireless carriers to address every segment of the market, from large enterprises to medium-sized businesses as well as individual consumers. The Company rigorously tests the usability of its technology to ensure wireless carriers offer the most satisfying and easy-to-use mobility services to their customers. Intellisync also provides optimal flexibility for wireless operators worldwide, in pricing and branding. Intellisync is ranked consistently by industry analysts as one of the top companies providing mobile software to the carrier and corporate markets, and Intellisync recently beat out RIM and received the highest overall grade awarded in Network Computing's 2005 annual review of leading mobile messaging gateway vendors.
"The wireless email market is at an inflection point, and mobile carriers are aggressively searching for ways to build data-plan revenues, increase ARPU (average revenue per user) and market share," said Eugene Signorini, Research Director with Yankee Group. "But to crack the lucrative enterprise market, carriers need a secure, scaleable mobile software platform. Intellisync's rapid penetration into the carrier market, over such a short timeframe, is testimony to both the carrier's desire to serve multiple markets and of Intellisync's strength as a major provider of a private-label push wireless email platform."
"Last year Intellisync announced plans to pursue the wireless carrier market as part of our strategy to become the leading provider of platform-independent mobile technology," said Woodson "Woody" Hobbs, chief executive officer, Intellisync Corporation. "In a very short period of time, we have built an integrated mobile platform that enables carriers worldwide to capture greater market share and increased ARPU from wireless email, device management and managed mobility services. In addition, we now offer one of the only truly integrated mobile platforms built specifically for carriers. Intellisync enables carriers to offer wireless email on nearly any mobile handset, from smartphones and voice-enabled PDAs in the enterprise to text-enabled cellular phones in the consumer segments."
Platform Independence Matters to Carriers
Unlike RIM and Microsoft's wireless email offerings, Intellisync's technology is based on an open platform, which is more advantageous to carriers, enterprises, device manufacturers and the industry as a whole. Intellisync believes that wireless software providers need to be prepared to support all major platforms in order to provide the best possible experience at the lowest cost for all markets including consumers, small businesses and the large enterprise. These platforms include groupware such as Exchange, Groupwise, and Notes; device operating systems such as Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Palm, Symbian, Linux, and Blackberry; and application software packages such as those from Oracle, Siebel, SAP, and Salesforce.com.
Intellisync Adding More Devices to Serve the Carrier Market
Intellisync's rich and long history with hardware OEMs has helped propel Intellisync to the number one spot as the leader in platform-independent wireless messaging. "Everyday we are working with major handheld providers such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Palm, and based on these experiences, we believe the wireless email market has the ability to surpass 30 million wireless push email users worldwide by the year 2008," added Hobbs. "We believe the next 12 months will bring an onslaught of cool, new devices like Motorola's 'Q.' Intellisync has built close relationships with carriers, OEMs and enterprises and we believe this will create tremendous growth opportunities and new revenues for Intellisync, resulting in part from this explosion of new wireless email users worldwide."
