Enabling the Rapid Assembly and
Deployment of Business-Critical Wireless Composite
Applications
SAN MATEO, CA, Jan. 24, 2005—Above
All Software, a provider of award-winning business
integration software, today announced a strategic
partnership with Good Technology, Inc., the leader in
wireless handheld computing software and service for the
enterprise. Under this agreement, Good Technology is
packaging and reselling the Above All Studio™
with GoodAccess™, making
possible the rapid assembly of composite applications to
deliver enterprise information to mobile employees when
and where they need it. In addition, Good Technology
will embed Above All Mobile Server technology in
GoodAccess to provide vital functionality for deploying
wireless composite applications.
Good Technology announced the
GoodAccess platform today at a launch event in San
Francisco where GoodAccess and Above All Studio were
demonstrated to industry press and customers. GoodAccess
extends Oracle, Siebel, Salesforce.com and other
mission-critical enterprise applications to mobile
professionals on a broad range of Palm-, PocketPC- and,
in the future, Symbian-powered handheld devices and
smartphones. Using GoodAccess with Above All Studio,
businesses can quickly assemble integrated, composite
wireless applications that combine data and
functionality from multiple systems such as order
management, product catalogs, invoicing and messaging,
for an integrated experience that conforms to the needs
of the mobile business user.
"Until today, mobile professionals
had limited access to enterprise applications. Our
vision is to enable the next generation of mobile
computing where users can interact with business
information from multiple enterprise applications from a
single point of access," said Danny Shader, CEO of Good
Technology. "To do that, it was an easy decision to
partner with Above All Software since the company shares
the same vision around the mobile deployment of
composite applications and has a unique and powerful
solution for mobile devices with a lightweight
footprint."
"Above All Studio now makes it easy
for business users to access and interact with critical
business information stored in multiple silos through
the assembly of composite applications -- and IT
professionals benefit by rapidly transforming existing
assets into high-impact solutions that can be deployed
to multiple environments," said Roger Sippl, CEO of
Above All Software. "We are excited to be working with
an industry leader like Good Technology to extend
business information to the mobile professional in an
integrated and cost-effective way."
Most companies today have a variety
of back-end and front office applications that drive
their business. For mobile professionals to be truly
productive, they must have real-time access to the
numerous, disparate enterprise applications that exist
within and outside the organization. For instance, a
mobile sales professional must be able to access his CRM
solution at the front-end to track and manage his client
contacts, but also integrate with back-end systems while
on the road to get the most current information to
update the account, or process an order -- integrating
CRM, ERP, finance and customer support. An effective
mobile solution will extend the same access to front and
back office applications to mobile devices that are
available within the corporate walls and the best way to
achieve this integration is through the assembly of
composite applications. Together, Good Technology and
Above All Software make this possible.
GoodAccess provides an
industry-standards-based platform for rapidly developing
and deploying mobile applications. Leveraging the same
infrastructure as GoodLink(TM), Good Technology's award
winning wireless messaging software and service,
GoodAccess connects mobile professionals to enterprise
applications residing behind the firewall through a
secure transport layer and standards-based integration.
