Novell GroupWise Mobile Server, Powered by Intellisync

Novell GroupWise Mobile Server, powered by Intellisync, securely synchronizes e-mail, appointments, contacts, tasks and notes between Novell GroupWise and hundreds of mobile devices. With GroupWise Mobile Server, your users have secure access to e-mail, appointments, tasks and notes from anywhere. They can view almost any type of attachment (word processing documents, spreadsheets or presentations) in graphical format. And when you enable the integrated "push" technology, GroupWise Mobile Server pushes data to the mobile device (through a wireless carrier of your choice or over WiFi) as soon as it arrives in the user's inbox.

If you have users on Palm Treos, HP iPAQ Pocket PCs, Nokia, Motorola or any of the other 400-plus devices supported by Intellisync, GroupWise Mobile Server will sync collaboration information between the server and the device. In fact, GroupWise Mobile Server works on handhelds, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops and tablet PCs, from a broad range of vendors. Supported operating systems include Palm O/S, Symbian, Windows Mobile, SmartPhone, PocketPC, SyncML, J2ME and many more.
