At an Enterprise Mobility Day event in
In a press conference at the event, Antti Vasara, senior vice president, Mobile Devices, Enterprise Solutions spoke of the human and business trends driving the need for mobility solutions, and the Internet as the common hub. He noted that the line between personal and business use of mobile technology is increasingly blurred and consumer requirements continue to drive mobile technology innovation and adoption. Nokia is delivering on its vision of the mobile world in which business users have the same ease of mobility in their professional lives as they enjoy in their personal lives. Yet a gap between meeting end user demand and achieving recognizable business benefit has historically hampered more strategic adoption of mobile solutions by companies.
“We see a significant opportunity to fill the ‘mobility gap,’ enabling business users to collaborate, communicate, and operate from anywhere, easily and affordably,” Vasara said. “Whereas companies have invested significantly in information technology (IT) and traditional unified communications, Nokia is now delivering solutions that extend those investments by bringing mobility to unified communications.”
With the new Nokia E51 and other dual-mode Eseries devices supporting both broadband cellular and wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity, users can now experience the power of a single device that can handle all of their business and personal communications needs, while also reaping the benefits of fixed and mobile unified communications. Eseries devices such as E51, E61i, E65 and E90 Communicator are optimized to integrate seamlessly with corporate telephony systems and with Nokia Mobile Unified Communications solutions such as Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco and Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel-Lucent. These solutions enable users to experience the power of handling all of their communications — including desk phone calling features such as extension dialing, call hold, transfer, and conferencing — on a single mobile device. The solutions enable mobile users to take advantage of least cost routing through the company PBX to place calls over WLAN networks to reduce overall costs of monthly wireless minutes and international connection charges.
“Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco with Eseries was the ideal answer to our needs. As a solution with an all-in-one device, it simply can’t be beat. Our employees can now work much more flexibly. They only need to carry one device with them to make phone calls and to manage their address books and calendars,” says Wolfgang Senoner, head of IT, Omicron. “This has increased the availability of our staff, and they are able to be reminded of appointments ahead of time.”
