Mirapoint announced a partnership with Notify Technology Corporation to extend mobile access to Mirapoint customers using BlackBerry devices from Research In Motion (RIM). The Mirapoint and Notify Technology collaboration underscores Mirapoint’s commitment to delivering a mobile strategy for email, covering security, access and management for enterprises.

The combination of Notify Technology’s NotifyLink Enterprise Mobility Solution with Mirapoint’s secure messaging appliances delivers email and calendar, contacts and task information to Blackberry devices. Using the NotifyLink Enterprise Mobility Solution allows an IT organization to keep control of their business critical data through granular device management.

Mirapoint’s Mobile Access Strategy ensures that enterprise mobility receives the same level of security and reliability that Mirapoint offers in the company’s email and collaboration – security, ease of management and dial-tone reliability. Mirapoint’s unique appliance model also enables the company to provide messaging and collaboration for the widest array of devices. The company is committed to supporting open standards including IMAP IDLE and SyncML. The company supports mobile devices from leading providers, including Research in Motion, maker of Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and others.

Unlike many other enterprise solutions NotifyLink provides a single enterprise solution supporting virtually all Blackberry, Palm, and Windows Mobile, devices simultaneously over a variety of wireless networks: GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA/1XRTT/EVDO, iDEN and 802.11x. The NotifyLink Enterprise Mobility Solution provides Over-the-Air synchronization of Email and PIM thus freeing users from the requirement of cradling their wireless devices in order to maintain synchronization. The NotifyLink Enterprise Mobility Solution provides "Scheduled Push, Direct Push, and SMS Push" notification eliminating the need for users to initiate a data session in order to retrieve their personal data. With NotifyLink, all Email and PIM information will be stored safely behind an organization’s firewall while all delivery of information to and from the wireless devices is encrypted utilizing either the TDES or AES encryption algorithms. NotifyLink provides maximum flexibility for the IT professional while minimizing complexity, providing multiple internal user groups with a robust solution over multiple devices and/or wireless networks.

The NotifyLink Enterprise “On-Premise” Edition for Mirapoint is ideal for organizations who want to maintain and support their wireless email and PIM synchronization on site. The NotifyLink Enterprise “On Demand” Edition for Mirapoint is hosted by Notify and designed for organizations of all sizes wanting to avoid the overhead and support of an “on premise” solution and still deploy any number and any type of wireless devices. Both NotifyLink versions for Mirapoint are currently available for evaluation or purchase.
