Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Sigma-Tau's Mobile Workers Use the Thinair Server and Client to Access Their Microsoft Exchange E-Mail, Calendar, and Contact Information

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview Headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Italy's leading research-based pharmaceutical company. Many of Sigma-Tau's employees are always on the road, and are constantly receiving and sending large amounts of e-mail. Carrying a laptop on the road was not always feasible; however ready, reliable, and true portable access to e-mail, calendar, and contact information was a necessity. After reviewing a number of different wireless hardware/software combinations, Sigma-Tau came to the conclusion that ThinAirApps' ThinAir Server, combined with the Palm VII organizer would best meet its needs.
