DataViz announced its mobile ActiveSync client, RoadSync, and mobile Office suite, Documents To Go, will support the Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator running Symbian OS-based Series 80. Based on the Exchange ActiveSync protocol licensed from Microsoft, RoadSync provides secure, wireless and direct synchronization with Exchange Server 2003, thereby extending the existing mobile benefits of Exchange Server 2003 to non-Microsoft devices.

RoadSync for Series 80-enabled devices will offer full mobile access to corporate Outlook e-mail, attachments, calendar and contacts, while eliminating the need for middleware servers, service fees, or subscriptions commonly associated with wireless e-mail. Additionally, features like "direct push" and "remote wipe" will be added into RoadSync, following the release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 later this year, to enable more businesses to deploy a wireless e-mail solution for their workforce at a fraction of the cost associated with today's alternatives.

"I've been previewing RoadSync for Series 80 and am very impressed with its ease of installation and quick set-up," said Rob Gordon, CEO of Dezine Limited. "This is just what small business owners like myself need: an affordable, straight-forward solution that enables employees to get their Outlook e-mail, contacts and calendar on a variety of devices including the Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator."

Documents To Go for Series 80 will provide owners of Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator with the ability to open, view and edit Microsoft Word and Excel files. DataViz' unique InTact Technology will be included, ensuring complete original document integrity is maintained when Microsoft Office files are edited by users on the smartphone. This is especially vital when desktop documents containing complex formatting and layouts are edited in a mobile environment.

By making sure that formatting associated with these files are always kept to their original form, users can confidently edit files on their smartphone without fear of negatively altering their files in the process. Any edits made in Documents To Go will be intelligently merged with a file's original formatting to create an updated document that can than be e-mailed or exchanged with others directly from the smartphone.
