Paradigm4 Empowers Mobile Workers With Handheld Wireless Office
New Wireless Email Solution Adds Critical Functionality to RIM Wireless Handhelds™ or Internet-enabled wireless phones with the Wireless Knowledge WorkStyle Server™ bundle
Hartford, CN - Tens of thousands of mobile workers have come to rely on the convenience of interacting with their corporate email and other key information via wireless devices. But the wireless devices available today do not have the ability to view email attachments, hampering a user’s ability to more fully interact with important information.
Paradigm4, Inc., a leading provider of wireless data services and solutions, has solved that problem with the introduction of E-Attach4 - a powerful new solution that enables mobile workers to view popular document formats when sent as email attachments to RIM Wireless Handhelds™ and Internet-enabled wireless phones.
Paradigm4 today offers E-Attach4, powered by ActiveNet technology from Equinox Solutions, Inc. E-Attach4 , in conjunction with the WorkStyle Server™ from Wireless Knowledge, Inc. or the BlackBerry™ hand-held messaging pager from Research In Motion, is the first wireless data service that enables mobile workers using Internet-enabled wireless phones and pagers to view document attachments on email messages and seamlessly interact with email, calendar and contacts applications.
“How many times have workers received wireless email messages only to discover that there are important documents attached that they need to read but can’t access,” asked Bruce Boisture, chairman and chief executive officer of Paradigm4. “The combination of E-Attach4 and the WorkStyle Server software finally solves that problem. Paradigm4 now offers the only comprehensive wireless solution that enables workers to seamlessly interact with their corporate exchange servers and to view email attachments from a wireless device. Mobile workers can now have a wireless office in the palm of their hands.”
“We are very excited to have Paradigm4 as a licensing partner for Equinox’s ActiveNet product suite” said K.S. Sriram, President of Equinox Solutions, Inc. “Paradigm4’s knowledge, expertise and delivery of mobile and wireless solutions make it a winning combination to the end customer.”
E-Attach4 is a simple solution that, from the mobile worker’s perspective, is virtually invisible. It is installed on a server running an organization’s WorkStyle Server solution or BlackBerry redirector. Email messages with an attachment are sent to a user’s wireless device and are simultaneously forwarded to a special ‘attachment conversion’ email account. The attached document is stripped of any graphics, reformatted to fit the device, and then resent to the user in a readable format. E-Attach4 supports a variety of popular document formats including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF.
WorkStyle Server, which became commercially available earlier this year, extends collaborative computing applications including email, calendar and contacts to the wireless environment. It provides professionals with secure access to their critical information while away from the desktop without the need to manage multiple accounts and without having to synchronize their Internet-ready wireless device with their corporate system.
