Nokia India and IBM have 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, licences 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 for Nokia India.
The solution has undergone large-scale deployment at Indian enterprises, including Asian Paints, Max New York Life, Britannia, Subros, Amtek Auto, Usha International and Havells, to name a few, which have benefited through improved efficiency and at significantly lower cost compared to rival solutions.
