Additionally, significant new functionality has been added to individual iMobile Suite components, as detailed below:
iMobile File Distribution Automates Intranet Publishing
iMobile File Distribution ensures that important files are delivered and stored locally on mobile devices. This guarantees that all users have the same mission-critical information on their devices at all times.
Key features include:
-- Automated distribution of file and Web-based information such
as human resource policies and forms, departmental spreadsheets and documents, contracts, product information and pricing sheets, and service manuals. Users do not have to dial-in to the intranet to check for new versions of key files. -- Assignment of Internet or intranet pages to particular users or groups of users, giving mobile workers only the information they need. -- New file delivery options to streamline communications handling for laptops where mobile user administrative rights are limited. This gives administrators the added security to `lockdown' mobile machines if necessary. -- Clean retired files from users devices. iMobile Software Distribution Mobile Device Management
iMobile Software Distribution frees users from the burden of installing software updates on their mobile devices by allowing system administrators to remotely track, configure and install applications.
Key features include:
-- Protects companies' "device image" for mobile laptops and
handheld PDAs while leveraging their investment in the existing systems management tools they use for managing LAN connected PCs. -- Integration with Microsoft(R) Systems Management Server (SMS), allowing administrators to import SMS publications for optimized delivery to the mobile devices. -- Enhanced sample scripting code to help administrators build intelligent install packages. -- Improved asset inventory collection options to optimize communications.
iMobile Data Synchronization Mobilizes Enterprise Applications
iMobile Data Synchronization puts enterprise applications onto handhelds and laptops so that mobile workers have access to the same enterprise data on the road as in the office. This product replicates subsets of core enterprise application data warehouses onto targeted users mobile devices to enable employees to be more responsive to customer and partner inquiries and make more informed decisions on the go.
Key features include:
-- Increased scalability and reliability based on a clustered
server model with dynamic load balancing, fault tolerance and
error recovery. Because multiple servers support an enterprise
user community, if a given server fails mid-transaction,
iMobile Data Synchronization recovers that transaction and
dynamically routes it to another server to complete the work
without any data loss or interruption to end users.
-- Instant alerts of any failure to pagers, cell phones, or
network messaging.
Also, Synchrologic received a Mobility Award by Mobile Insights. iMobile Suite
was recognized as the best software product for mobile resource management at
the Mobile Insights Conference.
