MessageOne Announces Apple iPhone Support for EMS Email Continuity Solution
iPhone Users Will Be Able to Access Business Critical Applications Through Apple's iPhone Using MessageOne Services
| Source: MessageOne
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - June 28, 2007) - MessageOne, the leading business continuity and
email management company, today announced support for the Apple iPhone.
MessageOne's email management services (EMS) will enable business users to
utilize the iPhone's web browser to access their corporate email through
MessageOne's EMS Continuity™ solution when their company's primary email
system has either failed, or has been intentionally brought down for
maintenance.
Despite the promise of the iPhone putting the mobile internet in the hands
of a whole new crop of users, most corporate IT departments have issued
edicts banning the device for business use. MessageOne's application
support of the iPhone assuages legitimate corporate IT concerns by
leveraging the iPhone's web browser allowing users to access EMS through a
secure 128-bit SSL-encrypted web session.
Today, if a company's Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes email system goes
down for any reason, MessageOne's EMS Email Continuity enables users to
keep working without interruption in Outlook, a web browser, or a
Blackberry wireless device. Starting on Friday with the launch of the
iPhone, MessageOne customers will be able to use another mobile device to
access the EMS backup email system. If the primary corporate email system
goes down for any reason, users will be able to send and receive corporate
messages, access historical mail, and view corporate calendars and contacts
from any iPhone. As with all other supported devices, EMS Email Continuity
ensures that all messages are stored in accordance with the company's email
policy.
"Over the next year, millions of employees will begin carrying the iPhone
-- a powerful mobile device with the potential to serve as back-up
infrastructure during a disaster or system outage," said Paul D'Arcy, vice
president of marketing at MessageOne. "We strongly believe the iPhone will
provide another important access tool for disaster recovery and email
continuity. With MessageOne's EMS Email Continuity, our customers'
employees willl be able to use an iPhone to access corporate email during
any crisis or disaster without violating corporate security or compliance
policies."
