Ericsson New Zealand and Vodafone New Zealand have joined forces to market a service providing mobile Outlook and secure mobile access to Internet and corporate Intranets. The first enterprise customer has already been signed up.
The new application, Vodafone Moso, developed by Ericsson Microsoft Mobile Venture, will enable users to access Microsoft Outlook functionality including e-mail, calendar, contacts, "to do" lists and shared public folders on any Ericsson R380, R320 phone or most other WAP enabled mobile devices.
"Critical success factors such as adaptation of user interfaces to different devices, mass activation capability, and enterprise security solutions have been customised by the Mobile Venture to meet Vodafone's specific requirements in this market," said Mark Millar, Ericsson account manager.
In New Zealand, Ericsson Synergy is delivering the application for which Vodafone has already signed up Genesis Power, a major electricity generation company, as the first corporate user.
"Working closely with the Mobile Venture has enabled us to quickly launch an advanced service," said Steve Aschebrock, Commercial manager at Vodafone. "Genesis users have reported that the anytime access to key Microsoft applications provided by Vodafone Moso - together with Internet and corporate Intranet access via their WAP enabled handset, has made them significantly more effective in their day to day work."
