Paul F. De Pond, President and CEO of Notify Technology A Single Solution for Wired and Wireless PDA Synchronization in a GroupWise Environment

Presentation (.pdf)
GroupWise organizations have been faced with a double edge sword concerning PDA synchronization. For years they have had to deal with frustrating third party desktop solutions for providing cradle based synchronization to their Palm and Pocket PC devices. These same third party products did not provide any wireless synchronization functionality, which forced all of these organizations to look at yet, another set of third party solution providers. The end result is that a GroupWise organization is trapped in supporting two separate solutions for PDA synchronization. Notify Technology recognized the opportunity to solve this problem by creating the industry's first single solution for GroupWise that supports both wired and wireless synchronization on a Blackberry, Palm, and Windows Mobile wired or wireless PDA device.
