Cingular Wireless Launches New Wireless E-mail Solutions for PDAs
and Smartphones Powered by SEVEN(R), Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition
& Xpress Mail Network Edition Provide Businesses with
Affordable, Secure, Real-Time Data Access Across Multiple Device
Platforms ATLANTA, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless today
announced the launch of two new enterprise-class wireless e-mail
solutions, Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition and Xpress Mail Network
Edition. Based on software from SEVEN(R), Xpress Mail Enterprise
Edition operates behind the corporate firewall and Xpress Mail
Network Edition is a managed service hosted by Cingular. Both
solutions are suitable for organizations of all sizes and are
designed to work on a variety of mobile devices, including
palmOne's Treo 600, offered by Cingular. "Cingular is focused on
providing affordability, flexibility and simplicity in wireless
e-mail for our business customers, which means multiple devices
connecting to multiple e-mail platforms with enterprise-class
security, that are easily deployed and managed," said Jim Ryan,
Cingular's vice president of data product management and business
marketing. "Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition and Xpress Mail Network
Edition are powerful, affordable e-mail solutions that are suitable
for all employees -- not just executives or road warriors."
"Cingular has been a leader driving the first wave of wireless
email adoption in North America. By adding Xpress Mail Enterprise
Edition and Xpress Mail Network Edition into their wireless email
portfolio, Cingular is providing a compelling and affordable option
for businesses seeking a flexible, device-agnostic solution," said
Kent Thexton, president and co-CEO of SEVEN. "We are pleased to
work with Cingular to remove the high cost and complexity from
enterprise-wide email deployments." Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition
and Xpress Mail Network Edition allow secure, real-time wireless
access to e-mail, Personal Information Management and other company
information. Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition puts a dedicated
wireless mail server behind the corporate firewall, making it ideal
for businesses that prefer to manage their own information and
communications resources. Businesses that want the performance,
functionality and security of an enterprise-class email solution,
but do not want to own or manage the technology, can opt for Xpress
Mail Network Edition and have Cingular Wireless manage the service
from its secure datacenter. Both solutions use industry- leading
security and encryption technologies such as AES, SSL and VPN,
ensuring confidentiality, integrity and appropriate authorization
at all points in the system. Deploying Xpress Mail Enterprise
Edition and Xpress Mail Network Edition is easy -- once a business
customer chooses between the behind-the-firewall and managed
service options, users can be set up centrally by IT or
individually, based on the company's requirements. All device and
service management takes place over the air, which saves
enterprises both time and money. Each solution also features
reporting tools that make it easy to monitor usage and service.
Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition and Xpress Mail Network Edition
provide the following features: -- Behind-the-firewall server
(XMEE): installing this lightweight server is simple; most
businesses can be up and running in less than an hour; -- Managed
solution (XMNE): Zero-footprint, with no incremental hardware or
software to purchase, install and manage; -- Push-based data
access: Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, IMAP and POP e-mail,
personal contacts, global directories and documents are all
available in real-time; -- Over-the-air synchronization: All data
and updates are delivered over the air, with no need to cradle the
device; synchronization schedule and alerts are customizable; --
Multiple inboxes: Access to multiple e-mail accounts from the same
user interface; -- Global access: Users can securely check their
e-mail from any PC browser across the world; a great compliment to
an organization's remote access strategies; -- Enterprise-class
security: Utilizes best-of-breed security technologies such as
128-bit AES, SSL and VPN; data is never replicated to third-party
servers outside the firewall. Xpress Mail Enterprise Edition and
Xpress Mail Network Edition are available today on palmOne's award
winning Treo 600 handheld wireless device, the first quadband
(850/900/1800/1900) handset offered by Cingular. The Treo 600
provides Cingular customers with a single device to manage all of
their voice and data communication, and allows them to take full
advantage of the company's GSM/GPRS network. Xpress Mail Enterprise
Edition and Network Edition airtime is $29.99 per user per month
