NotifySync Overview
Many organizations have asked for a BlackBerry email and PIM (calendar, contacts, and
tasks) wireless mobility solution that directly connects to their email platform but does
not require any middleware server or software. The NotifySync solution provides
organizations of all sizes secure, real-time, wireless synchronization of email and PIM
to and from any BlackBerry. NotifySync provides direct connect support to
several email platforms namely Exchange Server 2003/2007, Windows Small Business
Server 2003, Kerio Messaging Server, and Zimbra Collaboration Suite. NotifySync
provides organizations with a synchronization solution that offers them support on all
popular cellular voice and data networks as well any 802.11x wireless network.
With NotifySync, users have the ability to compose, reply, forward, or delete their
email while mobile. A variety of email attachment formats is supported as well.
Email folder synchronization, including sent, draft, and trash folders, are all
configurable on the BlackBerry. The user can also configure the frequency at which
he/she receives messages and the synchronization range, which serves to control the
quantity of messages kept on the BlackBerry. Support for accepting or declining
meeting invitations is also available, as well as remote access to the organization's
Global Address Book. Users can also configure how messages are cleaned up on a daily,
weekly, or monthly basis.
The NotifySync solution provides Over-the-Air synchronization of email, calendar,
contact, and task information, freeing users from cradling their BlackBerry to a PC to
maintain synchronization. NotifySync provides a single solution supporting any
BlackBerry over a variety of wireless networks such as CDMA/1XRTT/EVDO,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G-HSDPA or any 802.11x network.
The NotifySync solution utilizes a "direct push" or "scheduled push" connection when
connecting any BlackBerry to the user’s email platform. With NotifySync all email,
calendar, contact, and task information will be stored safely behind an organization's
firewall while all data-in-motion is encrypted utilizing SSL. Should a user lose their
BlackBerry, a remote wipe can be initiated to ensure all information on their
BlackBerry is erased.
