Omni Mobile for GroupWise

Omni Mobile delivers GroupWise mobile access for Palm, Pocket PC and Sony Ericsson PDAs and PDA Smartphones, such as:

• GroupWise Palm Treo 700w, 650, 600 and Tungsten PDAs
• GroupWise Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDAs and Smartphones
• GroupWise Sony Ericsson P910, P900 and P800
• GroupWise Nokia Series 60

*  Future support for Nokia Series 60 3rd generation and Nokia Eseries Smart phones and Blackberry PDAs.

More than Just PIM Synchronization – NO Windows Server 2003!

You might be considering several wireless GroupWise email options – Omni Mobile, GroupWise Mobile Server, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), GWAnywhere, NotifyLink or Toffa. Omni Mobile, however, is the only mobile GroupWise mobile software that does not require any additional Windows Server 2003 systems, gateways, databases and other complexities be added to your network.

Consolidation of GroupWise Synchronization Software

Novell's GroupWise Mobile Server synchronization software competes directly with NotifyLink, Nexic, GWAnywhere, Toffa and other GroupWise PDA synchronization solutions. With the arrival of Novell's GroupWise Mobile Server, we expect to see a consolidation of PIM-based GroupWise PDA synchronization solutions over the next few months.

Which GroupWise PDA Solution is Right for You?

Consider the following questions as you evaluate the various GroupWise mobile PDA products:

1. What is the Total Cost of Ownership of each mobile GroupWise PDA solution?
2. Why settle for PIM synchronization when you can have a full GroupWise client on your PDAs?
3. Why add one or more Windows Server 2003 systems to your environment to run GroupWise Mobile Server, NotifyLink or GWAnywhere, when Omni Mobile installs on your existing GroupWise system?
4. Why not choose a GroupWise PDA solution that supports your existing GroupWise 6.x or 7.x investments?
5. Why not adopt ONE solution that provides cross-platform PDA support – without any Windows servers?
6. Why choose a hosted GroupWise mobile service if you can leverage your existing GroupWise investment?

Supported Platforms

Note:  AppForge Crossfire enables Omni to maintain a single codebase and deliver a full-featured client for Palm, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Nokia and BlackBerry PDAs and PDA Smartphones.
