E-mail and PIM (personal information management) is well supported within enterprises; that is, until you go beyond the desktop. Now Intellisync Mobile Suite aims to provide easily administered wireless access to groupware servers, along with data and file synchronization. I tested Mobile Suite 5.5 Beta 2, which ships as a server plus any of four modules that you mix and match.Email Accelerator,the e-mail/PIM gateway module, lets you synchronize Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes data to handheld devices either wirelessly or via wired cradles. Intellisync rounds out the suite with Data Sync and File Sync — for synchronizing with enterprise applications and file servers, respectively — and Systems Management, for asset management of devices.Compared to Version 5.4, the beta Email Accelerator cut five to 10 seconds off the time to synchronize my Outlook e-mail and calendar to my Treo 600 smart phone. This saves me wireless fees over time, but it should also help the suite scale better for large deployments. One particularly pleasing new addition is PC Monitor, which allows departments to synchronize devices with Outlook or Notes without a direct connection to the groupware server. All that’s needed is a low-end desktop to act as a gateway.Intellisync has made improvements on the client side, as well. Conveniently, hyperlinks to phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and URLs within messages now launch the appropriate handheld application. Another nice (and unique) new function is “e-mail push,” which sends a message immediately, rather than requiring a separate synchronization step.Intellisync also bundles a new, feature-rich client designed for advanced smart phones such as the Motorola MPx200 or Samsung i600. If the e-mail user experience on handhelds has been limited in the past, that’s about to change. Technology Industry
