Assures BlackBerry® Customers They Can Minimize Risk and Future-Proof Mobility Investments with GoodLink(TM)
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 9 / -- Good Technology, Inc., the leading provider of industry standards-based enterprise handheld computing software and service, in response to an overwhelming number of inquiries from partners and customers, today moved to reassure the market about options to secure and future-proof wireless messaging deployments.
"We have seen a heightened level of customer concern, and an increase in the volume of customers switching from BlackBerry to GoodLink(TM) on industry standards-based devices," said Terry Austin, president, worldwide sales and marketing, Good Technology. "Customers are calling for an alternative to protect their mission critical business operations and investments, and are concerned about being restricted by a solution with a single point of failure. RIM's legal challenges with NTP underscore the risks that customers take in being locked-in to a vendor that focuses on proprietary systems. Good wants to reassure customers that they have a powerful, protected alternative in GoodLink."
GoodLink users are comprehensively protected from NTP claims through the license agreement signed by Good Technology and NTP in March of 2005. "Sale and use of GoodLink will create no NTP litigation risks for carriers, device makers or customers," according to Don Stout, co-founder of NTP, Inc.
"Organizations anxious about protecting their mission-critical wireless applications should realize that an industry standards-based solution can offer greater flexibility to meet changing market dynamics," said Kevin Burden, Program Manager, Mobile Markets, IDC. "Further, a standards-based system can eliminate the threat that a single point of failure poses to the entire solution investment."
More than 7,500 organizations in financial services, government, legal and other industries rely on GoodLink for 24X7 access to email, calendar, contacts and other key business applications, including 7 of the Fortune 10 and nearly half of the Fortune 100. Good Technology provides a powerful wireless messaging alternative on a broad choice of handhelds with enterprise-class security, manageability, and a Network Operations Center-based service.
