Intellisync Announces Hosted Wireless Email Service
20 June 2005
SAN JOSE, CA -- June 20, 2005 -- Intellisync Corporation (NasdaqNM:SYNC - News), a leading developer and marketer of wireless email and mobile software, today announced the launch of Intellisync Wireless Email Express(TM). The new hosted service from Intellisync enables true wireless push email with the same enterprise-class security and features of the award-winning Intellisync Mobile Suite(TM) product. Intellisync Express is a completely hosted service sold as a subscription through distributors, resellers and directly by Intellisync, and is being offered at a special introductory price of $120 per year for qualified customers. Anyone with a wireless data plan from any carrier and a data-enabled mobile device can now have true-push wireless email in less than 30 minutes, with virtually no IT expertise required to install and maintain. All aspects of the wireless email service are managed by Intellisync at their hosting facility in the United States.
Intellisync Wireless Email Express provides all mobile users -- from enterprise departments and workgroups to small to medium-sized businesses -- with an easy-to-own alternative to the IT resource-intensive email solutions offered by other software vendors. Despite claims to the contrary, most wireless applications offered by private email companies are difficult to install and require technical expertise to maintain. According to the Company, Intellisync Wireless Email Express is one of the fastest and simplest ways to "have a BlackBerry®-like experience for wireless email on virtually any data-enabled mobile device."
Several major distributors of mobile software and services have already included the new Intellisync offer in their portfolios. The new Intellisync Wireless Email Express product is available now through Ingram Micro (NYSE:IM - News), Global Wireless Data, and Trio Tek. Each company is distributing Intellisync Express through their reseller networks.
"Ingram Micro is excited to be a lead distributor for Intellisync Wireless Email Express," said Mark Kuta, senior vendor business manager for mobility, Ingram Micro U.S. "We have extensive experience selling and supporting wireless email solutions for enterprise, mid-market and small business. The new Intellisync product fills a segment in our wireless solutions offering and appeals to a broad range of VARs and their end-users who want to implement wireless email olutions without a large IT investment."
"The Express experience has been exceptionally smooth and fast from the start," said Ed Whipple, vice president of sales for Seitlin Corporation, an Intellisync customer. "We wanted wireless email that did everything we needed on the device of our choice, but we didn't want to burden our IT department the way other solutions may. Express delivered! Set-up was painless and our employees were up and running very quickly. We now have wireless email, calendar and contacts and know that we can count on Intellisync to meet our diverse mobility needs into the future."
"Our experience has shown that mobile professionals who prefer devices other than BlackBerries are increasing in numbers and they are asking for a faster, simpler way to get started with wireless email," explained Bill Jones, head of mobile products for Intellisync. "We've answered their call with Intellisync Wireless Email Express. Third party evaluations and our own testing showed that it takes about one-tenth the time to install our product versus the competitive offers -- 30 minutes versus 5 hours. This ease of use extends to the entire customer experience, which is especially beneficial from an administrative perspective."
