Extended Systems (Nasdaq:XTND), a leading provider of mobile data management and wireless connectivity solutions, announced today that Toshiba has internally deployed XTNDConnect Server data synchronization software on its new Genio e mobile devices.
Toshiba will use the Genio e PDA with XTNDConnect Server to internally promote its mobile computing efforts.
Toshiba's Genio e is the first PDA based on the Pocket PC operating system that utilizes both the SD memory card and Compact Flash card slots. Extended Systems' XTNDConnect Server is middleware that enables devices such as the Genio e to synchronize data with corporate servers including Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and any ODBC-compliant database. The combined solution will enable the Genio e to be used by mobile workers as a true extension of the desktop.
"The key for the successful deployment of the Genio e is dependent upon how effectively the PDA can be used in terms of ROI," said Mr. Tetsuzo Saito, Toshiba e-Solution, IS Center, information and network service section manager. "Toshiba has determined that XTNDConnect Server is the best solution to increase the productivity of mobile workers and has chosen this solution to connect our internal servers with our Genio e devices."
"We look forward to working with Toshiba to promote the use and integration of Genio e devices in corporate environments," said Mr. Mamoru Tadaki, president of CF Company, Extended Systems' distributor in Japan. "We hope that this solution will benefit not only Toshiba itself, but all of Toshiba's customers."
Extended Systems and CF Company have worked in conjunction with Toshiba to promote the use of PDAs in Japan through trainings, joint sales calls and promotions at trade shows.
