Enhancements to
vVault Platform Advances Enterprise Collaboration
San Francisco, CA
(April 17, 2001) - vVault,
a leading provider of infrastructure technology for
mobile productivity applications, today announced the
release of vVault WorkGroups, an enhancement to their
award-winning vVault Platform product that allows corporate
IT managers to easily administer and flexibly manage
group accounts within the mobile enterprise. As with
vVault's core applications designed for mobile professionals,
vVault WorkGroups is designed to support carriers and
other distribution partners that target the mobile workforce.
vVault's technology
platform integrates with legacy communication and IT
systems to enable end users to access, send, and collaborate
on business critical documents through fax, email, the
Web, and emerging wireless devices, including WAP phones
and connected PDAs. With vVault, mobile professionals
can view key business files wirelessly (including email
attachments) and print documents remotely via fax. The
vVault Platform was recently named "Best Group Productivity
Solution" and won "Best of Show" at Cellmania's annual
WAPPYAwards, sponsored by Hewlett-Packard and AT&T Wireless.
vVault WorkGroups enhances
the vVault Platform with tools for service providers
to sell into the enterprise market.
Key features include:
- Ease of Administration: vVault WorkGroups
allows corporate administrators to bulk load thousands
of users and quickly add, edit, and remove user accounts.
- Detailed Reporting: Allows administrators
to granularly track usage such as outbound faxes with
detailed records of both documents and destinations.
Enterprises can track logon activity and several other
usage metrics. Carrier partners can track multiple
customer accounts for billing purposes.
- User Management Capabilities: Based
on reporting functionality, administrators can make
better decisions on how to allocate fax, storage,
and other vVault capabilities. This flexible distribution
method allows customers to optimize deployment of
vVault-powered services across the enterprise.
- VAR Sales Tools: Designed for distribution
by service providers, vVault WorkGroups includes sales
features for initial account creation, mechanisms
for the sale of more capacity and services, and reporting
capabilities at the VAR level.
vVault WorkGroups'
administration functionality enhances existing communication
and collaboration tools included in the vVault Platform,
such as group file sharing, versioning, and permissioning.
"vVault's Platform
arms our customers with a compelling offering for both
individual mobile professional subscribers and the companies
employing them," noted Bill Ho, founder and Chief Technology
Officer at vVault. "With this release of vVault WorkGroups,
vVault extends the reach of its product line to the
mobile enterprise, an important step towards our goal
of becoming the standard platform for mobile productivity."
"A critical driver
in the adoption and usage of mobile applications will
be the ability for workers to get 'in the flow' of the
b01.usiness day - even while working remotely," said
Jennifer DiMarzio, industry analyst at Summit Strategies.
"vVault's current functionality is aiming to address
this very real need."
