NEWS YOU CAN USE
AvantGo Inc, a leading provider of mobile infrastructure software and services, today announced that it has extended its award-winning AvantGo Enterprise™ platform to mobilize Microsoft Exchange. AvantGo Enterprise for Microsoft Exchange, shipping today, enables corporations to manage wireless access to Microsoft Exchange for employees using mobile devices. The company also introduced AvantGo Enterprise Interactive 3.6, the first fully integrated mobile solution to offer interactive access to web-based applications and messaging applications. AvantGo Enterprise now offers a powerful solution for companies, including Wolcott Group, Information Builders and Ford Motor Company, that require immediate wireless and remote access to critical information residing in Web, Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes applications - all automatically updated and easily accessible.

"Our mobile professionals are sophisticated device users who want information on demand. With AvantGo Enterprise, we can now put timely information from both Microsoft Exchange and our Web-based applications into their hands," said George Surdu, Director, Information Technology Systems, Ford Motor Company. "By integrating the Web with our existing messaging solution, AvantGo Enterprise allows us to deliver up-to-the-minute data to our mobile professional workforce."

AvantGo Enterprise for Microsoft Exchange provides server-based access to messaging and scheduling software, further extending the kinds of critical information AvantGo is bringing to mobile devices. AvantGo Enterprise software seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, from both desktop computers and mobile devices, without any training or complex computer-to-device configuration for users or IT administrators. Unlike desktop-based synchronization solutions, which create security and manageability problems for organizations, AvantGo Enterprise provides centralized administration of mobile devices, authenticating mobile users of Microsoft Exchange. This seamless process minimizes IT maintenance and end-user training and speeds deployment, while lowering development and support costs. At the same time, AvantGo Enterprise makes use of industry-standard communication protocols to enable secure, efficient access to enterprise data in Microsoft Exchange from mobile devices using any wireless service.

"The addition of Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes to our product offerings demonstrates our commitment to extend the AvantGo Enterprise platform beyond the web to business applications that are at the heart of our customers' businesses," said Stan Ratcliffe, general manager of AvantGo Enterprise. "AvantGo products provide the infrastructure powering the mobile economy. We give our customers immediate access to critical information, including their web-based business, Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes applications. With AvantGo, customers also have the security of knowing the information they are getting is always up-to-date and easily accessible."

New Enterprise Features and Enhancements Enable Faster Deployment AvantGo Enterprise solutions increase the return on investment of corporate information systems by extending existing enterprise applications and critical information to employees and customers - anytime, anywhere. Designed for real-world deployments, AvantGo Enterprise delivers robust wireless performance by providing access to information and applications both on-line or off-line, enabling organizations to conduct business even when a reliable wireless connection is unavailable.

AvantGo Enterprise, which has been rapidly adopted by Global 1000 companies to extend their networked applications to mobile devices, is architected to handle large-scale, global deployments with product enhancements and international language support. AvantGo Enterprise Interactive 3.6 delivers system administration and end-user improvements that enable large enterprises to more effectively deploy mobile devices to their employees and customers using public or private networks. Support for multiple NT domains allows IT managers to instantly provide wireless access to any Microsoft Exchange server or other network-based business application to individuals without changing any existing administration procedures. From sales force automation and inventory management to patient care and business intelligence applications, AvantGo Enterprise's central administration allows companies to easily access any information residing on a corporate network or in corporate databases. AvantGo Enterprise incorporates the same scalable, reliable technology platform that today powers the AvantGo mobile Internet service for more than 1.2 million registered users. AvantGo Enterprise Interactive 3.6, available today in English, will also be available in French and German before the end of the year.
