How does it work? (Its all about simplicity!)

• Administrator follows installation wizard steps.
  Installation wizard backs up current WebAccess
  configuration and copies the appropriate
  server-based files into the WebAccess
  installation (includes WebAccess-based
  administration component)
• If email access through WebAccess is not allowed,
  the administrator configures the Omni Mobile
  restricted WebAccess Interface as the default.
  This installs the Omni Mobile User Configuration
  component without providing access to any other
  GroupWise functionality
• Installation Wizard deploys the file system-based
  user preference store (no SQL, other database or
  other hardware/software required)
• Administrator enables and configures accounts to
  be accessed through Omni Mobile
• Cradle-sync, OTA, Blue Tooth and Wi-Fi options
  can be enabled for user accounts on supported
  devices
• User logs into WebAccess with a browser and
  selects the OM icon to select the folders to be
  synchronized
• Creates a personal profile for the update options
  that have been enabled by the administrator.
  Includes the ability to configure multiple
  folders, address books, calendar, etc for each
  connection type
• Cradle Connected
• Host OTA network
• Remote OTA network
• Wi-Fi connected

How does it work? (Its all about simplicity!)

• User/Administrator deploys the client application
  on the mobile device
• Place mobile device in cradle
• Download the Omni Mobile client application from
  the WebAccess website or copy the application to
  the mobile device from a desktop. Omni Mobile
  uses the native connectivity software to
  communicate with the handheld device. (This
  process can be managed by ZENworks for
  Handhelds.)
• Select the installation file on the handheld
  device. This installs the application and
  licence file
• Start Omni Mobile. Provide the standard
  GroupWise Client login information
• Press the synchronize button or initiate the
  software process to transparently connect and
  synchronise data

Why is Omni Mobile the platform for the future?

• Support for Novells complete Collaboration Suite
• GroupWise, including WebAccess-type GroupWise
  Document Management with Check out/Check in
  functionality
• Messenger
• iFolder
• NetMail
• Others
• What makes the Omni approach feasible?
• We started our Omni Mobile development process by
  listening to what our GWMobile customers and
  other GroupWise customers told us, and focused on
  simplicity, multiple devices, customer-known/frien
  dly interface and limited administrative
  requirements
• Choice of technology Most companies have to
  create and manage multiple programming languages
  for each mobile device platform and server-side
  platform. Omni Mobile is built on a write-once,
  compile to any mobile device you want platform
• Virtually anything that can be written in Visual
  Studio can be written to the Omni Mobile platform
• Omni Mobile clients will be available for Windows
  and LINUX desktops
• Future versions
