With Apple's integration of Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange ActiveSync and its new iPhone 3G, 123Together.com is now offering Hosted Exchange Server customers and iPhone users what company officials call "anywhere, anytime access to their business e-mail with two-way wireless synchronization."

 

E-mail, calendars and contacts are wirelessly "pushed" from123Together.com's hosted Exchange Server to the users' iPhone, giving them access to workplace resources.

 

In addition, IT staff members can remotely "wipe" a user's device if lost or stolen so that the user's corporate and personal data cannot fall into the wrong hands.

Support for Apple's (News - Alert) iPhone 3G is the latest addition to 123Together.com Hosted Exchange Mobile Services offering. Along with ActiveSync, it provides synchronization support for mobile devices compatible with Blackberry Enterprise Server and Good Messaging Server.

"Mobile employees who currently use their iPhone to watch videos, take photos, listen to music and check stock prices can now also use Microsoft Exchange server as a hosted service to keep them connected with their office 24/7," said Ravi Agarwal, founder and senior executive officer of 123Together.com (News - Alert), a mindSHIFT company.

Headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, www.123Together.com sells enterprise-class messaging and collaboration products including hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, Windows SharePoint Services and Dynamics CRM.

 

Late last year 123Together.com announced that it was participating in Microsoft's Early Adopter Program for the next generation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, version 4.0, code-named "Titan", and selecting customers to receive early access to a hosted Titan product.

 

123Together.com gears its services to SMBs who want enterprises-class messaging and collaboration products "without the technical personnel needed to maintain the servers in house," company officials say.

 

As part of the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, 123Together.com has been given early access to Titan, and will be distributing it as a hosted service to a select group of customers tomorrow.

 

Also last fall at Microsoft's Convergence (News - Alert) 2007 Copenhagen customer event, Microsoft officials said hosting firms from around the world are "committed to delivering on-demand customer relationship management (CRM)" products based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, formerly code-named "Titan," due out later this year.

 

Partners building new on-demand products on Microsoft Dynamics CRM include Mondo A/S (News - Alert), a Danish IT services company; JayThom, a hosted and on-premise Microsoft Dynamics CRM provider in Australia and Increase, a British-based hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM provider.
