ANDTEK Offers Unified Communications Solutions for iPhone and Android Smartphones

Dec. 11, 2008 - PRLog -- The server-based solution "AND Mobile" of the Munich-based unified communications (UC) specialist ANDTEK GmbH integrates mobile business applications on the smartphone directly into a UC environment. This is done independently from the operating system and the device manufacturer and therefore works on the iPhone as well as on Android mobile phones being launched on the German market in the first quarter next year. ANDTEK presented the UC solution on the "Networkers at Cisco live" that took place in Johannesburg last week.

With the browser (based on Webkit) integrated into the UC solution the users have the possibility to employ their smartphone for business communication and to communicate via the company network. Due to this concept "no data remains on the device that might fall into the wrong hands in case the device gets lost", says ANDTEK manager Roland Russwurm.

Furthermore the UC solution offers the following advantages regarding the business communication handling via mobile communication network using iPhone and Android smartphones via the secure https protocol:
- Web-based services offer the advantage that applications have not to be in-stalled on the mobile phone. This way it is possible to realize a fast migration of a great number of users into the company network and it is a lot easier to realize the use of mobile phones of different manufacturers.
- The connection to the company network allows the user to start mobile phone calls and to execute same via the company network (via fixed-line phone network). Additionally to better cost control this function also offers the possibility to achieve a clear separation of private and business calls.
- By the integration into the company network the entire communication is done via a company number (Single Number Reach), no matter if one initia-tes the phone call with company desk phone or the mobile phone. On top of this users have access to the company call list even if they are away. Therefore it is possible to have one common call list for the mobile and the fixed-line network phone.
- Since the communication is controlled via the internet, phone conferences can be done via smartphone independent from the location and with any number of participants. The existing conference services of the company network are used to carry out the conferences.
- The status of all company phones is displayed on the user's smartphone and they can see, which colleagues are available. To provide this function only for a certain number of users it is possible to block any person via the server.
- Via the smartphone mobile workers have access to company databases like e.g. CRM data (Customer Relationship Management). In case the smartphone will be lost the confidentiality of the company data is not compromised, since the data is not stored on the smartphone but is provided via the mobile phone network.
