MONTREAL, March 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SherWeb, a world-leading provider of hosted business solutions, today announced that its market-leading Hosted Exchange 2010 environment is ready to support the mail function on Apple's new iPad, appearing in stores today.
The announcement will certainly mean good news for SherWeb's Hosted Exchange 2010 end-users who also happen to be Apple fans, famous for waiting hours outside stores to be among the first to purchase the latest Apple product. And as the popularity of tablets continues to grow, so does the number of iPad lovers.
The new iPad is just one in a steady stream of increasingly sophisticated mobile devices ending up in the hands of end-users of hosted email and data services like SherWeb's Exchange 2010. Given the skyrocketing numbers of small and medium businesses entering the cloud, it has become increasingly important for hosted service providers to stay ahead of new technology like Apple's new iPad.
In SherWeb's case, beating the curve hasn't been a problem. The renowned hosted services leader has already tested its Mobility by SherWeb to ensure it can support the new iPad mail function when connected to its Hosted Exchange environment.
"SherWeb end-users tend to be at the forefront of adopting new technology and we anticipate that many of them will purchase Apple's new iPad," said Matthew Cassar, EVP and co-founder of SherWeb. "With connectivity being so essential these days, it's vital that our Hosted Exchange 2010 environment lets them make the switch effortlessly."
Apple has confirmed that pre-orders of the new iPad have already sold out. Fortunately for SherWeb end-users, those who do manage to be among the first to obtain Apple's latest tablet will enjoy perfect synchronized connectivity from day one.
