Relationships with Advanced Productivity Software, iManage, Sabratec, Tibco and Others Increase Connectivity to Information Systems; Broader Handheld Access to the Enterprise to Help Drive BlackBerry Sales by Resellers
Microsoft TechEd 2003 Conference,June 2, 2003 - Dallas, TX - Onset Technology, a leading developer of enterprise access software for wireless handheld devices, announced today that its international reseller network has embraced the new METAmessage for Wireless data access capabilities. Resellers have demonstrated enthusiasm for the enhanced METAmessage solution that further extends the data access capabilities of the BlackBerry® wireless platform from Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM, TSX: RIM).
"BlackBerry has become the leading wireless platform for the enterprise because it provides secure, push-based connectivity to corporate email and data," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Brand Management at RIM. "With Onset's METAmessage for Wireless, BlackBerry users can further increase productivity and enhance client service through mobile access to corporate applications."
Onset's worldwide network of over 70 resellers includes BitxBit, CDW, eAccess, Mobotel, NuTech, Regard, and Saturn Wireless.
"Data access is the hot button now, everyone is looking for a fast way to connect BlackBerry handhelds to data sources," says David Bean, President of eAccess Solutions in Palatine, Illinois. "With METAmessage, there's no development overhead, and the wide choice of back-end connectors means that customers can implement a solution very quickly and economically. METAmessage supports BlackBerry Mobile Data Service and the combination is going to move a lot of handhelds out the door quickly."
Onset has recently teamed with a number of companies to develop back-end connections to information systems. These companies include Advanced Productivity Software, developers of time-and-billing applications; iManage®, developers document management applications; Sabratec™, developers of advanced enterprise integration solutions; and Tibco™ (NASDAQ: TIBX), an independent business integration software company.
METAmessage for Wireless is a complete, out-of-the-box solution for BlackBerry, currently serving over 1000 enterprise customers with over 100,000 users. Depending on how the product is licensed, users can interact directly with a range of enterprise data systems including document management/time-and-billing programs, enterprise applications, and internally developed databases. The user simply opens a form on the handheld and either requests information from or adds information to the data source. Users can also get network files to send, read, or print; access the Web, without opening a browser, for driving directions, flight information, Google searches, and more; spell-check outgoing messages; and, read email attachments and Web pages and print them anywhere, including network printers.
