Mobile messaging and collaboration solutions

Teams on the go need to stay in touch with each other, share results and insights, and make the latest information available to all. Windows Mobile solutions for messaging and team collaboration give mobile workers the tools they need to stay plugged in and productive with e-mail, IM, text messages, voice, and genuine mobile versions of the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, including Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile. Messaging and collaboration services can be scaled to the size of your business as well when you use Windows Mobile phones with Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint.

Enhance your mobile messaging environment

For improved mobile e-mail, advanced mailbox functionality, better protection from spam, and more, you can use Windows Mobile 6 and later with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 (or Exchange Server 2003 with SP2). Together, Windows Mobile and Exchange Server deliver a direct, scalable, and cost-effective mobile messaging solution that enables mobile workers to stay connected while helping businesses better protect sensitive data. And with Windows Mobile, your business can extend existing Exchange Server investments, requiring no additional hardware or licensing to get up and running quickly.

Microsoft Online Services make it easy for your business to take advantage of the familiar Microsoft server products as flexible services. With a hosted Exchange Server service available from Microsoft Online Services, organizations of any size can benefit from an enhanced mobile messaging environment.

Mobile collaboration, communication, and coordination

Even when your team is miles or continents apart, you can make sure everyone has access to shared information. For mobile teams who need to collaborate on documents and stay on top of shared resources, Windows Mobile works with Microsoft Office SharePoint workspace-based tools. You can make the most of your existing SharePoint servers or get the same advantage through a convenient hosted service available from Microsoft Online Services.

By mobilizing SharePoint, you can use your Windows Mobile phone to collaborate using web-based team sites and even view and edit shared Microsoft Office files. Teams stay informed about workspace changes as well, thanks to the customizable e-mail alerts, notifications, and RSS feeds that Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 can send to Windows Mobile phones.

Case studies

Available programs, features, and functionality vary by device, Windows Mobile operating system version, and version of Exchange Server used. Connectivity and synchronization may require separately purchased equipment or wireless products (for example, Wi-Fi card, network software, server hardware, and/or redirector software). Service plans are required for Internet, Wi-Fi, and phone access. Features and performance may vary by service provider and are subject to network limitations. See device manufacturer, service provider, or corporate IT department for details.

Direct Push Technology requires either Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) or Windows Mobile 6, connected with either Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or later or Exchange Server 2007.
