Zumasys Achieves Exclusive Microsoft Mobility Solutions Competency
Company to Expand Promotion of Windows Mobile 6.0


LAKE FOREST – February 13, 2007 – Zumasys announced today that it has achieved Microsoft’s Mobility Solutions Competency, an elite designation that promotes Windows Mobile 6.0 which was released this week at 3GSM in Barcelona, Spain.

To earn this competency, Zumasys had to demonstrate proficiency in designing and implementing mobile solutions by successfully completing several certification exams and submitting customer references. The Mobility Solutions Competency offers exclusive benefits like early access to Betas and SDKs, mobility expert columns, Mobile device promotions and discounts, and case study opportunities.

One of the submitted references is The VerteX Portal, a hosted SharePoint 2007 solution that Zumasys recently deployed for Solera Group. This powerful web-based reporting system provides new loan locks and other investment information for residential mortgage originators and sends action-able alert notifications to Windows Mobile SmartPhones, including the Motorola Q so they can capitalize on rapidly changing secondary market conditions. “In our business, emailing static but highly sensitive customer information has become the standard but unfortunately pricing and transaction information is often outdated the moment it is sent,” said Chris Wiley, President of Solera Group based in Seattle, Washington. “With Zumasys’ assistance we were able to build a highly secure and completely integrated portal using SharePoint 2007 exploiting the new Excel Services of Office 2007 and Exchange server—the applications are hosted in a hardened data center managed by Zumasys and users are persistently logged in all-day long. If key data changes, a customer receives a SharePoint alert notification anytime, anywhere on their SmartPhone with an embedded link that ensures that can take immediate action and capitalize on time sensitive opportunities.”

Zumasys offers turnkey mobility solutions based upon Microsoft’s collaboration and messaging platform which is comprised of Exchange 2007, SharePoint 2007 and Microsoft Live Communication Server. Microsoft Live Communication Server allows organizations to instantly find and communicate with people using the real-time collaboration within Microsoft Office programs and Microsoft SharePoint. By combining these powerful features with the more than 140 different Windows Mobile SmartPhones on the market, Zumasys is providing unique productivity gains for organizations of all sizes.

Microsoft has boosted the security mechanisms built into its newest mobile phone operating system, responding to the needs of business customers who will use the phones to access sensitive corporate data. One new feature in Windows Mobile 6.0 allows users to remotely wipe their device if it's stolen. Via a secure connection to their corporate Microsoft Exchange server, users can remotely delete content on the phone, including data stored on a removable storage card. Previously, only an IT administrator could schedule a remote wipe
