Unified Messaging Platform to Support Any Device, Any Operating system

SAN FRANCISCO (09/26/05) – Intellisync Corporation (Nasdaq: SYNC), the leader in platform-independent wireless messaging and mobile software, today introduced “Intellisync Unified Messaging™” for mobile devices. The announcement further extends Intellisync’s leadership in mobile messaging and raises the stakes in the wireless email software market. Intellisync Unified Messaging makes any type of mobile communication – email, voice, text or instant message (IM) – accessible on a single interface on any device in any location, with "One-Touch" access. The experience is truly unified, and is designed to increase productivity and user satisfaction with wireless communications for mobile professionals, large enterprises and wireless carriers. Intellisync Unified Messaging also provides an enterprise-ready, carrier-grade wireless email and instant messaging platform that will enable IT managers and mobile operators to provide users with seamless access to business and personal communications on mobile devices. The company is demonstrating its Unified Messaging platform this week in Booth #153 at CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2005 (Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif.).

Enterprise mobile deployments are reaching an inflection point where strong volumes of mobile workers, increased growth of mobile infrastructure software and growth across key enterprise-grade mobile devices all make for high adoption of mobile enterprise solutions in the next 5 years, according to IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice. IDC predicts that smart phones will make up approximately 85 percent of all intelligent mobile device shipments by the year 2007.

"Mobile professionals will require communications functionality and usability from a converged device that approximates what they currently have available on their office desktops," said Stephen Drake, program director of IDC's mobile software service. "Mobile Unified Messaging solutions from the larger wireless software companies such as Intellisync, provide a vision for connecting people and information in ways that help people work smarter in a growing mobile chaotic environment, while integrating multiple data sources to customers' back-end systems."

Woodson 'Woody' Hobbs, chief executive officer of Intellisync, said, "The first wave of unified messaging was about the PC and the desktop phone. While this was useful, it wasn’t convenient for mobile professionals. It was an important step in integrating some communication mediums but it certainly did not radically improve or add to the experience of mobile device users.”
“Today, Intellisync initiates the second wave of unified messaging that integrates important communication channels – email, IM, text and voice – and unifies and delivers those communications onto a single mobile device screen, to provide the best possible mobile experience. We will enable you to work where you want, when you want, and with all the information you need right at your fingertips. That’s what Intellisync Unified Messaging is all about," continued Mr. Hobbs.

All Major Instant Messaging Networks on a Single Screen

For the first time, mobile users can access their email, IM on any network, text/SMS messages, web access, voice communications, contacts, calendar information, and more – all from a single mobile device screen. The new software from Intellisync will create an experience on the mobile device that is similar to the best possible desktop experience, whereby all of the major IM networks such as AOL, Google, Jabber, ICQ, Microsoft and Yahoo! can be easily accessed by the mobile user. For corporate instant messaging, Intellisync plans to support the major corporate IM solutions, including Microsoft Live Communications Server and IBM Lotus Sametime. The Instant Messaging client also supports IM standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (Wireless Village).

For businesses that require additional security and compliance measures, Intellisync enables IT and security managers to lock down IM access to conform to specific security policies and regulatory requirements.

Presence-Based Mobile Services Now Integrated with Calendar and Contacts

An important capability of Intellisync Unified Messaging is Presence. Intellisync software now informs users when other users are available and willing to communicate in a way that extends beyond current “presence-based” capabilities of other offerings in the worldwide mobile device industry. By integrating presence services with email, calendar and contact information, the Intellisync platform automatically lets people know whether or not the user is in a meeting, traveling or available. Intellisync augments this capability by enabling users to set their personal communications preferences, defining how and when people can most effectively reach them.

From a user perspective, this “presence service” is very useful – the user not only has access to their business colleagues via any messaging methodology they choose on their device screen, but the application can in fact, recommend the best way to communicate with others based on their preferred communications method at that specific time. The user can also specify how they want to be communicated with, giving them control over the information flowing to their mobile device.

For example, a manager's colleague may be in a sales meeting negotiating price and prefer for their manager to contact them discreetly via IM to discuss pricing, rather than by a voice call. The user in the meeting can set their status so that the manager knows to contact them via IM.

Mobile Data Integration

Another distinctive feature of Intellisync Unified Messaging is mobile data integration. Intellisync enables the user to see all the information relating to a contact in one location. In one view, the user can see how many emails, voicemails, and SMS messages they have from a particular contact and access them easily. The user’s address, phone number, and Instant Messaging ID are available to be used instantly if needed. Data integration makes it very simple to engage with others.

Broad Network, Platform and Device Support

Intellisync Unified Messaging supports a broad range of mobile data device environments including PalmOS™, Microsoft Windows Mobile (PocketPC™ and Smartphone), Symbian ^TM  (UIQ, Series 60 and Series 80) and BREW. The email application built into the Intellisync Unified Messaging platform supports Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, IBM Lotus Domino and Notes, and Internet email from providers like Comcast, Earthlink, and AOL. The system also supports industry standard communications protocols including POP3, IMAP, and SyncML. The unified messaging solution “powered by Intellisync™” is currently intended to be available for enterprises and for wireless carriers in November 2005.
