i-mate Suite makes your IT systems and policies as mobile as your people
Dubai, 17 April 2006 - i-mate, the specialists in Windows Mobile hardware and software solutions and services brings to the market a complete enterprise solution for company-wide management and security of mobile devices and data back-up capabilities.
The software enables enterprises to equip their staff with familiar Windows Mobile devices to safely extend their corporate networks beyond the office. Comprising three modules - i-mate Control, 1-View for the enterprise and Backup - the software offers true mobile functionality without losing control of either security or compromising data.
"As experts in Windows Mobile devices and supportive applications, we know that developing our own software takes our devices to the next level and shows the power, functionality and flexibility of the Windows Mobile platform," said Jim Morrison, i-mate chief executive.
"i-mate Suite complements our mobile devices as it enables users to manage their Windows Mobile devices securely wherever they are at any time. It is a single 'plug and play' solution that quickly enables a mobile workforce for any enterprise."
i-mate 1-View safely extends access to corporate networks and files to Windows Mobile devices, expands mobile device storage, and provides document, data, and file sharing. i-mate Control allows enterprises to safeguard sensitive data, remotely configure or troubleshoot devices, automatically update all devices in the field simultaneously and remotely customize devices, while i-mate Backup provides full remote wireless data backup, the capability to define backup policies and schedules, and restore Windows Mobile devices.
A recent report published by analyst house Nomura says that i-mate's "strategy is spot-on for delivering what corporations require from mobility." The report continues: "To date only i-mate with Microsoft has decided to enter the market for offering enterprise grade mobile solutions, and as a result we expect that in 2006, the bulk of Microsoft mobile-enabled devices will be shipped by i-mate."
The complete i-mate Suite allows users to engage in a host of activities such as browse files on home or office PCs from anywhere, share data between specified group members, extend the corporate network into the field, access a PC or other device from mobile devices, and vice versa, remotely erase data if a device is ever lost or stolen, troubleshoot remotely, roll out new applications easily, customise information and other resources to have one look and feel and perform sophisticated wireless backup processes remotely.
