business decisions and improve customer response time by gaining
access to business-critical information.
In addition, organisations can also realise increased productivity
as Infinite Mobile Delivery reduces message retrieval time for mobile
workers by up to 70 per cent compared to traditional methods!
“The P800 is such as powerful and diversified business tool,
yet delightfully simple to use. In today’s busy work environment,
with people constantly on the go and in need of instant information,
the P800 is well suited to access both personal and business information
including the Internet, corporate Intranets and emails with attachments.
We see our collaboration with Captaris as a strong value addition
to corporate users,” stated Gabriel Sjogren, Product Marketing
Manager for Sony Ericsson in the Middle East and Africa.
“Our goal is to help business users reap the benefits of
mobile access to the information that is usually tied to their office
desktop”, added Fadi Honein, Regional Manager for Captaris,
Inc.
“We are confident that once companies experience the benefits
in productivity and customer responsiveness that the P800 with Infinite
Mobile Delivery gives them, they will want to expand their initial
license and add other integrated features from our CallXpress unified
messaging and RightFax enterprise fax and e-document delivery solutions.”
