Nov 23 SyncML Technology Enables Smooth Interface With Most Mobile Devices
Found in:Mobile News,

Open-Xchange, Inc. today announced a significant extension -- releasing a SyncML OXtender free through March into the core product, Open-Xchange Server. Users of the popular open source collaboration server can now seamlessly connect and interface with most mobile devices.
SyncML is the open standard that drives data mobility by establishing a common language for communications between devices, applications and networks. The foundation of the SyncML open standard ensures a consistent set of data that is always available on any device or application, at any time.

"As networking of devices continues to flourish, so does the demand for universal solutions for synchronization," said Frank Hoberg, CEO, Open-Xchange. "Until now, synchronization of data has been restricted to certain devices and applications. SyncML is becoming the cross-platform standard -- solving compatibility issues. Support for it in Open-Xchange Server means users do not have to spend a lot of time and money on the installation and configuration of all the different applications and devices now required for data synchronization."
Open-Xchange Server Empowers Mobile Healthcare Workers
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, a 7,000-employee university hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, chose Open-Xchange Server as its future collaboration platform largely because of its mobile capabilities. Today and in the near future, personal digital assistants (PDA) and smartphones - the fusion of telephone, calendar, address book, text receiver and sender - will help to organize the increasingly-complex hospital routines in a smooth and efficient way.
"For hospital staff overall availability and 'reachability' is a must," said Rene Patthey, hospital CIO. "In addition to the stability and performance of our 5000 workstations, the connectivity of an increasing number of users with mobile devices became important. The hospital staff already uses 560 Palm PDA's models M515, T2 and T3, following a strong growth trend.
"With Open-Xchange we enjoy a strong customer orientation of the provider and a close proximity to product development which is very unique," said Patthey. "An outstanding example was the development of PDA's and Smartphone's connectivity via the standardized SyncML interface. We were integrated in early development and test phases and were able to discuss our needs. Accordingly the results met our requirements in an unparalleled way. With Open-Xchange Server we were able to avoid additional and costly custom development that would have been necessary with alternative solutions."
