HP and Sprint PCS Partner to Offer Mobile Corporate E-Mail Access

For many small- and medium-sized businesses a cautious yet practical first entry into wireless is through the adoption of a wireless e-mail solution. To simplify the process, Hewlett-Packard Company and Sprint PCS have entered into an agreement to jointly market and sell the HP Openmail Anywhere solution as part of the Sprint PCS Wireless Web for Business.

Over Sprint PCS’ nationwide CDMA network, business customers equipped with any one of the 18 Sprint PCS Internet-enabled phones or their laptop connect via a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection could wirelessly access the following:

  • Electronic mailboxes
  • Folders
  • Directories

HP Openmail Anywhere Solution

  • HP Praesidium Virtualvault Web server platform ensures secure remote access through the corporate firewall
  • Business messaging solution for Linux and UNIX® systems
  • Based on Internet standards

The two companies will target Fortune 2000 Enterprise customers and may market the solution through Openmail resellers and ASPs to small- and medium-sized businesses.

The joint solution will be made available over the next few months.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: This should help HP to gain wireless e-mail clients. It is time that a major player like HP inked a deal through a national wireless service provider.
