Motorola and Visto to Extend Personal Information Management to Java(TM) Technology-Enabled Handsets

Motorola (NYSE: MOT) and Visto Corporation today announced that Visto has developed applications to enable wireless access to corporate e-mail, calendar and contacts through Motorola handsets with Java(TM) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME(TM)) technology. The companies will engage in joint marketing initiatives to provide enterprise organizations and mobile workforces with secure, cost- effective, wireless access to their corporate information systems.

Individual mobile users can take advantage of the Visto solution by simply downloading the Visto desktop companion for an easy and flexible way to achieve wireless access to messaging applications. For larger organizations, the Visto mLynx(TM) Enterprise Server can securely connect the mobile workforce to e-mail, calendar and contacts directly from their wireless phones.

"As workforces become more mobile, there is a critical need for wireless access to enterprise data in order to remain productive," said Peter Aloumanis, vice president and director of U.S. Market Operations, Motorola's iDEN(R) Subscriber Group. "Motorola's relationship with Visto gives users of Java technology-enabled handsets increased mobility and connectivity to corporate messaging applications."

"By working with Motorola, Visto can ensure timely delivery of applications that enable the corporate customer or individual worker to easily access and respond to critical messages using Java technology-enabled phones," said Renee Niemi, senior vice president of marketing, Visto Corp. "This relationship is part of Visto's strategy to increase the mobile workers' productivity by enabling access to corporate messaging systems from any location, at anytime."
