Nokia India and IBM has announced their collaboration to deliver business mobility solutions to Indian enterprises. Building on their global alliance for business mobility, Nokia and IBM also shared an update on the deployment of IBM Lotus Notes Traveler for Nokia smartphones highlighting substantial traction among Indian enterprises.
The solution - which delivers direct, secure access to email and personal information via organizations' IBM Domino servers - is now available for Nokia Symbian S60 smartphones. Support for Nokia’s new Symbian OS platform is prominently positioned in IBM's mobile product roadmap.
“IT directors are being pressurized to deploy business mobility solutions such as email, IM and intranet access for more employees, but without incurring high costs on additional middleware, licenses and maintenance. IBM Lotus Notes Traveler gives business professionals easy, secure and real-time access to their email boxes, corporate contacts and corporate calendar on their Nokia smartphones. Direct access mail also drastically reduces the cost of managing and maintaining servers,” said V Ramnath, Director Operator Channels, Nokia India.
“We are extremely happy to collaborate with Nokia, as our association will be yet another milestone towards smarter business mobility. This announcement is part of our continuing effort to expand mobile support for the Lotus software portfolio. The ability to connect securely to business email is an example of Tomorrow at Work, an IBM initiative that examines a changing work environment and anticipates trends in technology, business, society and culture,” said Pradeep Nair -Director - Software Group, IBM India/South Asia.
The IBM Lotus Notes Traveler solution is supported by a wide range of Nokia smartphones available with different designs and prices, covering the entire business user market.
