XcelleNet Helps Intel, Verizon IT, Computer Associates, Fujitsu Launch
Products and Services in Mobile Market
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Gartner ITxpo -- XcelleNet, Inc., a
leading provider of mobile infrastructure solutions and expertise, today
announced that it continues to dominate the mobile infrastructure market
through partnerships with leading technology firms. During the past month
Intel, Verizon IT, Computer Associates and Fujitsu PC Corp. have all selected
XcelleNet's award-winning mobile infrastructure technology as part of their
mobile solutions. Each relationship solidifies XcelleNet's position as a
leading provider of software and services for mobile business.
XcelleNet's mobile infrastructure goes beyond the basic management of
mobile devices to enable users to synchronize handheld applications and data,
enforce system configuration, backup and restore critical information and
secure mobile devices. Leading technology organizations have built
XcelleNet's Afaria, the company's mobile infrastructure solution, into their
own products and services to launch new mobile initiatives.
Intel has selected XcelleNet's mobile infrastructure technology as the
foundation of its recently announced LANDesk Mobile Manager product.
Computer Associates has certified XcelleNet's Afaria as "ca smart with
Unicenter," the family of award-winning infrastructure management solutions
from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA). The ca smart seal is
earned by partners who deliver eBusiness value and technical excellence
through the integration of their products with CA technologies.
Verizon IT will use XcelleNet's mobile infrastructure technology to power
its broad range of managed mobile services that enable enterprises to
effectively deploy, administer, and manage mobile computing devices and remote
end-users.
Fujitsu PC Corporation has formed a strategic joint-sales relationship
with XcelleNet where Fujitsu will pre-install XcelleNet's Afaria on all
Fujitsu Stylistic(R) and PenCentra pen tablet PCs used during sales
evaluation.
"The need to manage different types of mobile devices, from laptops, and
PDAs to Tablet PCs to smartphones, from one management console is a rapidly
growing trend in the wireless Technology market," said Ronni Colville,
research director, Gartner, Inc. "Enterprises today must ensure that their
mobile infrastructure provides management and synchronization capabilities
that provide reliable access and continuous protection of corporate data on
these devices. Without the proper mobile infrastructure in place, enterprises
leave sensitive data vulnerable and will not reap the benefits that mobility
offers."
"XcelleNet is a pioneer in helping organizations understand the challenges
of mobile computing. Partnering with technology leaders such as Intel,
Verizon IT, CA and Fujitsu PC Corp. will expand our leadership position in the
mobile infrastructure market and help us reach more companies that need to
control their mobile data and devices," said Joan Herbig, CEO of XcelleNet.
"Through these partnerships, XcelleNet continues to power enterprises that
want to capitalize on their investment in mobile devices with a
technologically superior mobile infrastructure solution, which enables them to
deploy, manage and manipulate any type of application on their mobile devices,
from CRM to sales support to ERP."
In June of 2001, IDC, a leading market intelligence and advisory firm,
named XcelleNet a leader in mobile device management (MDM) with the company's
top placement in the MDM Leadership Grid. During the past year, XcelleNet has
expanded its leading MDM technology to create an award-winning mobile
infrastructure solution, encompassing all aspects of mobile systems
management. For instance, Gartner Group recently recognized XcelleNet's
acquisition of Ehand, a synchronization technology leader, as the beginning of
the convergence of the mobile management and synchronization markets. This
convergence will enable enterprises to reduce the number of solutions required
to manage their mobile infrastructure.
Gartner ITxpo Survey
At the Gartner ITxpo, which starts today, XcelleNet will conduct a
breakthrough survey of fellow technology providers, media personnel and
industry trendsetters to determine the latest issues in the wireless and
mobile management marketplace. The survey will shed insight into the
challenges faced by organizations as they begin to roll out mobile devices
across the enterprise, as well as highlight the hottest products and trends in
mobile infrastructure -- from PDA selections to the emergence of Tablet PCs.
