Meet Windows phone for business |
| In an increasingly mobile world, you need quick, on-the-go access to more types of communications, including e-mail, instant messaging, SMS, voice mail, calendar, and contacts. Meet Windows phone, your access to customers, colleagues, applications, information, and familiar productivity tools like the ones you use every day on your desktop.
Based on Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows phones provide a familiar experience with support for Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile, and Office Communicator Mobile. And advanced mobile capabilities make the most of your existing IT investments, such as Microsoft Exchange Server and Office SharePoint Server, for lower-cost mobile deployment and management.
Available programs, features, and functionality vary by: device, version of Windows Mobile software, mobile network provider, and availability of network connectivity and supporting technology (such as Exchange Server). See your device reseller and mobile network provider for more information. |

Communicate, collaborate, and get more doneA Windows phone empowers you to act, sell, buy, negotiate, and decide. It’s your access to the people, information, and tools you need to do business while mobile. |

Stay connected to your business | Out of the office shouldn’t mean out of touch. Windows phones give you fast, convenient access to the information you need—corporate data, line-of-business (LOB) applications, the Internet—for fast, smart decision-making. | Run a wide range of mobile LOB applications for customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), sales force automation (SFA), and field force automation (FFA) from SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Salesforce.com, and others. Find more apps more easily with Windows Marketplace for Mobile, the marketplace for searching, browsing, and purchasing mobile applications, including productivity and stand-alone business software. Imagine a top customer trying to reach you on your desk phone, but you’re out of the office. No problem. Microsoft Office Communications Server coupled with Office Communicator Mobile give employees a single phone number and then route calls to their office, Windows phone, or both numbers. Get the message from multiple sources. It’s easy to switch from one inbox to another for e-mail, short message service (SMS), and multimedia messaging service (MMS). And SMS sync lets you read and reply to SMS messages from Office Outlook and Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Achieve more with tools you have | Windows phones help you make the most of existing corporate assets so that mobile employees and IT staff can do more with the tools they already have and know, such as Exchange Server, Microsoft System Center, Office SharePoint Server, and Active Directory Domain Services in Windows Server 2008. | Support for the Exchange Server software most companies already own is included in Windows phones. Synchronize the contacts, calendar, files, and e-mail you have on your Windows-based PC with your Windows phone using Exchange ActiveSync—no additional software required. Save on hardware costs, too. Window phones connect directly to your Exchange Server and do not require add-on hardware as middleware, which simplifies platform management and reduces up-front costs. Get access to Office SharePoint Server and documents on file servers through e-mail links on your Windows phone, a time-saving feature that also helps save bandwidth and storage space on your servers. Reduce costs and maximize your existing IT systems, tools, and skills to create mobile LOB functionality that extends your infrastructure, or get help from an extensive list of third-party providers.

Protect your mobile investment | Whether your business is large or small, your mobile deployments have to be secure and manageable. The Windows Mobile platform lets you manage phones more like desktop computers and supports enforcement of your security and IT policies on Windows phones. | Keep peace of mind even if you lose your Windows phone. PIN lock, remote wipe, on-device file encryption, and platform lock-down help safeguard your information even if your device is lost or stolen. Choose your level of mobile device security and complexity while you use your company’s existing security and administration tools— Exchange Server or, for enhanced capabilities, Microsoft System Center—to manage e-mail, users, and documents on Windows phones. Get control over access to features such as Bluetooth, cameras, Wi-Fi, SMS, instant messaging, and Internet Explorer with phone hardware disablement policies. For larger organizations, Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager adds an optimized mobile virtual private network (VPN). The VPN provides single-point, security-enhanced, remote access to business applications and data behind the firewall.
