DataViz, Inc., a provider of office compatibility solutions has announced its mobile ActiveSync client, RoadSync, and mobile Office suite, Documents To Go, will support the Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator running Symbian OS-based Series 80.

With the addition of this newly supported platform, DataViz’ mobile Office portfolio will include support for three of the most popular smartphone platforms: Symbian OS-based UIQ, Series 80 and Palm OS.

“We are pleased to see DataViz bring their mobility solutions to market for our Nokia 9300 smartphone and 9500 Communicator through the support of Forum Nokia Pro Enterprise Zone. We believe our devices’ large color screens, integrated QWERTY keyboards and high-capacity memory, combined with business-critical applications like DataViz’ mobile Office suite and mobile ActiveSync client, address many of the productivity needs of our enterprise customers,” said Lee Epting, vice president, Forum Nokia.

Based on the Exchange ActiveSync protocol licensed from Microsoft, RoadSync provides secure, wireless and direct synchronization with Exchange Server 2003, thereby extending the existing mobile benefits of Exchange Server 2003 to non-Microsoft devices.

RoadSync for Series 80-enabled devices will offer full mobile access to corporate Outlook e-mail, attachments, calendar and contacts, while eliminating the need for middleware servers, service fees, or subscriptions commonly associated with wireless e-mail.

Additionally, features like “direct push” and “remote wipe” will be added into RoadSync, following the release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 later this year, to enable more businesses to deploy a wireless e-mail solution for their workforce at a fraction of the cost associated with today’s alternatives.
