"Four C's" reflect Nokia's strategy to connect millions of mobile workers
ORLANDO, FL - March 27, 2007 - "Convergence" isn't just about technologies coming together. It's about a rapidly-consolidating playing field where companies "converge" to lead the future of business mobility.
Nokia is poised to lead this convergence. At CTIA Wireless 2007 the company is showing how its business mobility products, solutions, ecosystem and strategy will benefit millions of mobile professionals in their work and personal lives and make it easier for IT managers to deploy and manage mobility solutions.
The combination of the Nokia Intellisync mobileware platform and Nokia Eseries devices significantly increases potential for businesses to achieve new levels of productivity and competitive advantage. It also presents opportunities for operators, service providers and systems integrators to drive subscriber growth and technology adoption with the advent of new solutions and capabilities.
"The mobile industry is clearly at a tipping point, in more ways than one," said Scott Cooper, vice president, Mobility Solutions, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. "We are seeing a more strategic approach to mobility - a shift from the point solution implementations that we've encountered in the past three years, to a new, more comprehensive approach to mobility. Enterprise customers will enjoy the benefits of always-on, robust and secure mobility solutions, beyond mobile email delivered to the executive suite or traveling sales staff."
