Chelmsford, MA – June 25, 2002 –Biscom (www.biscom.com) At the TECHX/PC EXPO 2002 show today Biscom, a leading provider of enterprise fax management solutions, introduced MobileAccess, a software application designed to enhance the user of popular RIM Blackberry wireless handhelds. MobileAccess allows Blackberry users to view email attachments directly on the device, send and receive faxes, and print attachments.
MobileAccess is a server-based software application that includes 20 user licenses, with additional user license packs available. For customers who do not have an existing fax server, Biscom will offer a special combination package consisting of Mobile Access and Biscom's proven enterprise fax solution, FAXCOM. This combination pack provides Blackberry users with full fax functionality plus the ability to view text versions of received faxes, and print attachments to any fax machine, anywhere in the world.
MobileAccess incorporates advanced conversion software developed by Biscom's Lincoln & Co. division. This software,which supports over 35 different file formats, uses proprietary technology to ensure accurate conversions and support of the latest versions of the applications.
"Biscom is excited about the future of wireless devices and continues to develop products to enhance document delivery," said S.K. Ho, Biscom's founder and CEO. "Although MobileAccess is optimized for use with Blackberry handhelds, the server-based utility supports other PDAs as well. The attachments are converted to plain text and sent as regular email messages and can be conveniently viewed on the small screens of these devices."
The MobileAccess system operates without having to install any additional software on the device. However, MobileAccess ships with client software that integrates "one-click" access to fax and attachment conversion functions directly into the Blackberry menu system.
