Visto Corporation, the
leading global provider of mobile email, today announces a marketing and
enablement relationship with IBM that will leverage IBM Lotus Notes
Traveler and help enable delivery of Visto's Mobile(TM) for IBM Lotus
Domino to millions of IBM Lotus Notes users.
"In an age of increasing mobile usage, providing flexibility and choice
to customers is demanded to address the range of IT configurations that can
be found in businesses of all sizes," said Michael Rhodin, general manager,
Lotus Software, IBM Software Group. "The combination of Lotus Notes
Traveler and Visto Mobile offers a compelling mobility solution for the
millions of Lotus Notes users."
Under the terms of the agreement, Visto and IBM will collaborate on the
enablement and marketing of a connector for Visto Mobile for Lotus Domino,
providing existing and new Lotus Domino customers with mobile access to
email, calendar appointments, contacts and other data pushed directly to
their mobile phones.
"IBM's leadership position in the global enterprise messaging and
collaboration market, combined with Visto's advanced mobile technology,
makes this deal a strong catalyst for rapid wireless enterprise email
growth worldwide," said Brian Bogosian, president, chairman and CEO of
Visto. "This will be the first solution to allow mobile operators the
benefit of provisioning Lotus Domino users without the need for a separate
server installed behind the firewall. This will be a groundbreaking
improvement over traditional approaches based on standalone server
technology that Visto is excited to pioneer in conjunction with IBM."
