Europe
UK : Visto Corporation announced that Vodafone UK, the UK's leading
mobile phone operator, has selected Visto Mobile(TM) with ConstantSync(TM)
technology to power its Vodafone Business Email offering.
With Visto Mobile,
Vodafone UK is able to deliver a mobile push email service to satisfy
the needs of business customers, regardless of the size of their business,
their email infrastructure, or their preferred mobile phone. In a
service that is both easy to use and administrate, Visto Mobile enables
mobile professionals to securely send and receive email, calendar
updates and changes to contacts in real time.
"Vodafone
Business Email enables us to offer mobile email support to companies
of all sizes on a multitude of differing devices and popular platforms",
said Mark Bond, Director of Enterprise Marketing for Vodafone UK.
"Working with Visto, Vodafone has developed a product to meet
the both the complex requirements of larger companies as well as the
need of smaller organisations and individuals to add easy to manage
email to their phone of choice."
"Vodafone
UK's selection of Visto Mobile reaffirms Vodafone's strong commitment
to high customer satisfaction and service excellence," said Brian
Bogosian, chairman, president and CEO of Visto Corporation. "Because
of a lack of device choice and the high costs of entry, mobile email
use has been restricted to an executive elite. Vodafone Business Email
will change this, and a wider UK business audience will soon be enjoying
the productivity benefits of mobile email safely and securely on a
device of their choice."
The Visto Mobile
platform is flexible enough to enable a mobile operator to deliver
a consistent advanced user experience for all business customers:
large enterprises running Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino, requiring
a dedicated scalable server; smaller businesses running these mail
platforms, requiring a solution to install on an individual's PC;
as well as small businesses wishing to take Internet-based email mobile.
In addition, the Visto platform supports the broadest set of devices
across all operating systems.
With the addition
of Vodafone UK's Vodafone Business Email solution, Visto Mobile is
now available from nine Vodafone operators and affiliates in Europe:
Vodafone Germany, Vodafone Ireland, Vodafone Greece, Vodafone Italy,
Vodafone Netherlands, Vodafone Spain, SFR (France), and Elisa (Finland).
