Tenet Computer Group Inc. announces PINpoint® v2.5 for BlackBerry™

Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- PINpoint® is a corporate application that facilitates cooperation and coordination, by ensuring that BlackBerry users always have up-to-date information stored on their handhelds, including critical documents and contact lists.

Following a defined schedule, PINpoint automatically collects the most up-to-date documents and contact information from your internal systems, and pushes them to the BlackBerry devices you designate. Pushed information is automatically stored in your BlackBerrys' cache memory, thus ensuring that it will be available when your users need it, even if your systems are down or unreachable.

Complete and up-to-date documents and contact information are particularly valuable for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans, making PINpoint a great communications enabler for when your corporate systems are unavailable (e.g. to use pin-to-pin messaging, cell phones, or to refer to emergency plans and procedures).
For BlackBerry users, PINpoint provides additional, BES-specific information not normally found in the BlackBerry address book, as well as information collected from your Corporate Directory (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory or Novell eDirectory), such as department, city, job title, manager, etc.

I.T. Features:
PINpoint is configured and managed centrally, using a browser-based Management Console which allows an I.T. Administrator to define what information will be delivered, to whom, and when. The Console allows extensive configuration to match your organization's requirements, while at the same time keeping the end user interface on the BlackBerry device simple and friendly. There is no need to install any software on the BlackBerry smartphones.

Content pushed to BlackBerry users may consist of documents and/or a list of contacts. Documents: PINpoint can collect HTML or PDF documents from internal or external systems, and push them to the appropriate end users.  For easier administration, documents can be sorted and organized into Collections, which are
then assigned to Groups of Recipients (e.g. by language, city, position, etc). Define content of lists of contacts using data fields from:  BES database: user name, PIN number, mobile phone number, email address, SMS address, carrier, device model, memory, status, etc.  

Corporate Directory: attributes from LDAP source (e.g. Active Directory or eDirectory): position, office phone #, location, department, groups, etc.
o Scope of contact lists may also be defined based on the value of any BES or Directory attributes (e.g. include in list "only senior members of DRP/BCP group", or "all devices activated in Canada".   Different content may be pushed to different groups of people:  Flexible mapping of Document Collections (documents to include) and Contact List Scopes (people to include in lists) to Recipient Groups. Groups of recipients may be defined based on the value of any BES or Directory LDAP attributes (e.g. push list to "all managers in London", or to "Bell devices with at least 64MB of RAM").
