Mobility Solution: Symbian Continues To Lead The Way By Offering Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Compatibility For S60 On Symbian OS

DataViz announces the next version of RoadSync, its Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync client for S60 on Symbian OS, now available in beta with support for new mobility features in Exchange 2007

DataViz®, Inc., leading provider of Office compatibility solutions for over 22 years, and recent winner of the Handango™ "Developer of the Year" for UIQ on Symbian OS™, has released a public beta of RoadSync™, version 3.0, which now supports select mobility features in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Based on the Exchange Server ActiveSync® protocol licensed directly from Microsoft, RoadSync provides secure, wireless and direct push synchronization of corporate e-mail, attachments, calendar and contacts. The beta is currently available for Nokia Eseries and Nseries devices running the S60 3rd edition software on Symbian OS such as the popular Nokia E61, N80, N91 and more.

"We are excited for the upcoming release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and will work quickly to update our RoadSync product line to support the new mobile synchronization features," said Ilya Eliashevsky RoadSync product manager, DataViz, Inc. "Exchange 2007 matches many features offered by traditional middleware solutions, but it does so in a very affordable and scalable way which we anticipate will exceed the expectations of many mobile users. As a stand-alone client application, RoadSync offers a timely and affordable solution for corporations looking to further maximize existing device and server investments without needing to purchase new handsets. RoadSync also helps to eliminate many of the uncertainties surrounding the availability of firmware updates provided through the carrier, manufacturer or OS provider."

"Symbian OS is the leading global standard operating system for smartphones, and as such, it is essential to provide our customers with the latest advancements in mobile messaging," said Jerry Panagrossi, vice president, US operations, Symbian. "With RoadSync v3.0, enterprises large and small can invest in Microsoft Exchange and Symbian smartphones, enjoying secure, wireless and direct push synchronization of email with attachments in the original file format, calendar and contacts data. Symbian smartphone owners are among the first to take advantage of the latest Exchange enhancements, contrary to the belief that Exchange compatibility is available only for the latest Windows Mobile devices."

DataViz's commitment to develop Exchange ActiveSync connectivity for a wide variety of mobile devices began in 2004 for S60 on Symbian OS and has since been extended to support S80 and UIQ software on Symbian OS. In addition, many of the current shipping versions of RoadSync include support for Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), offering key mobility enhancements such as Direct Push, GAL Lookup, Remote Wipe and IT Policy Enforcement. RoadSync v3.0 will continue to build on these latest security and management features provided by SP2 while adding new productivity enhancements introduced in Exchange 2007.

The following features are among those currently supported in the RoadSync v3.0 beta for smartphones based on S60 and Symbian OS, when installed in combination with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

E-mail Flags
With flags it is easy to triage e-mail from a mobile device and flag it for later action. No longer will users have to go back to their office and re-manage their inbox in Outlook or OWA. Messages will already be properly flagged and organized for the appropriate follow-up action. Flagging in Exchange 2007 will support both the flagging models of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007.

Faster Message Retrieval
Exchange 2007 introduces a new, more effective "fetch" approach for messages. The device can simply and immediately fetch the pieces of data, such as an attachment or the end of a long message thread, instead of initiating a full synchronization. This provides faster and more efficient access to important data, keeping users right in line with their message and thoughts.

Online Mailbox Search
Information can now be quickly found from a mobile device using the search capability of Exchange ActiveSync. When executing an over-the-air search from a mobile device, the user's entire Exchange mailbox is queried and the search results can be rapidly retrieved to the device for use. This capability enables access to information sent or received days, weeks, or even months before, regardless of the storage limitations or synchronization preferences of the mobile device.

SharePoint and UNC File Access
When a user receives a link to a file on Windows SharePoint Services site or a UNC file share while using a mobile device, Exchange Server 2007 uses LinkAccess to retrieve and display the document, no VPN required. Linked SharePoint files will act just like ordinary file attachments with the corresponding downloading, viewing and editing options, thus expanding access to critical corporate information while working on the go.

Additional Exchange 2007 mobile features such as HTML messages, AutoDiscovery, Out of Office Assistant, improved calendaring and more device policies are also planned for future releases of RoadSync but are not currently available in this beta.
