| 22nd April 2005 - Vodafone announced the roll out of
push email, a service providing real-time, secure and
remote access to email, contacts and calendar direct to
a range of business-focused mobile devices.
New email, calendar appointments and contact details
are automatically 'pushed' to the customer's selected
device and updates made on the device are automatically
reflected on the customer's PC. In addition, customers
can choose to download email attachments in popular
office formats, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint
and Adobe PDF.
Vodafone's research shows business customers have different
mobile email access requirements, depending on the size
and type of the organisation. The Vodafone push email
service caters for all business IT environments, with
an Enterprise version for companies wishing to provide
access to their employees, a Desktop Redirector version
for people who use their own mobile equipment at work
and an ISP version for sole traders or small businesses.
During the launch phase, the range of devices that
support the push email service will include the Vodafone
v1620, the Motorola MPx220, the Nokia 6630 and the Sony
Ericsson P910i. Additional devices that support push
email functionality will be introduced into the range
in the coming months.
"Vodafone intends to offer the best and easiest
to use mobile email services for our business customers,"
said Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer at Vodafone.
"Vodafone push email means more customers can
now mobilise their businesses and benefit from greater
business productivity and responsiveness whilst on the
move. Customers can choose the mobile email solution
that complements their IT system, whilst enabling mobile
email users and Company IT Managers to select the device
that meets their needs."
The push email service is currently available from
Vodafone Germany, Vodafone Greece, Vodafone Italy, SFR
(France) and Elisa (Finland). Vodafone Spain is launching
the service today with additional Vodafone markets launching
push email over the course of this year.
