Aether Systems helps enterprise customers improve efficiency and profitability by providing the services, software and support necessary to extend applications like email and sales force automation from the desktop to any wireless device.
"Handheld computing is maturing within the enterprise marketplace," said Lee Epting, director of enterprise sales for Handspring. "IT managers, CIOs and practice leaders are looking for ways to increase the value of their mobile work force and integrated handheld solutions are often the answer. We recognize that the hardware is only one piece of the equation - tailored wireless applications and services must also be provided, serviced and deployed. Aether is an industry leader in this area and a great partner."
"Handspring will now be able to offer customers a comprehensive package that couples their handheld device with scalable, wireless solutions, that deliver increased productivity and efficiency," said Kimberly Kopp, director, strategic business development for Aether Systems. "Any enterprise looking for cost-effective, manageable mobile solutions on one of the most flexible platforms available will find tremendous value in the Aether-Handspring solution."
Handspring's Visor family of handheld computers is uniquely positioned in the enterprise market due to the Springboard expansion slot and the over 60 Springboard modules on the market today, including five wireless modems. Combined with thousands of Palm OS applications tailored for the enterprise and solutions providers like Aether, the Visor is one of the most flexible and elegant solutions for enterprise computing available today. The consistency in the Springboard expansion technology across the Visor family enables cost savings as well as streamlined IT management and support.
