Implementing a mobile email solution can make your mobile workers more productive when out of the office. At the same time it may mean that you can remove or redeploy expensive laptops if they are currently only used to pick up email.
Just about everyone who spends time away from their desk and relies on receiving and sending information via email will benefit from having a mobile email solution.
Did you know?
A study by Ipsos-Reid carried out for RIM found that users of BlackBerry saved up to one hour each day. Up to 19% of all business laptops were no longer required.
There is a number of options that enable users to receive email remotely. However you should consider more than just how they are delivered. Total cost of ownership and return on investment are key considerations.

Choosing a remote email solution
There are a number of options available. You may even consider having different solutions for different users within your organisation depending on what they all need. Our sales executives and client managers can talk you through the options and help you decide on the best one available.
Below are some key areas to consider before embarking on a remote email solution.
Does your company allow proprietary or 3rd party software to be installed on your LAN? |
Many corporate remote ‘push’ email offerings are set up using proprietary software. However, if you have the right Exchange server you can use a Microsoft solution. |
Do you have Microsoft Exchange 2003 service pack 2? |
This is the minimum requirement for the Microsoft solution. |
How important is the central management of handsets and content? |
The total cost of ownership of the solution needs to be considered. Handset management and security generally represents the largest drain of the IT departments time. |
What future plans do you have to get other information to your remote users? |
Integrating your email platform into your office system should be considered. Additional applications could really show productivity gains. |
