SteelCloud Joins BlackBerry Alliance Program and Launches Product Offering to Support BlackBerry Enterprise Server in the Small and Medium Business Market
HERNDON, Va., June 19 - SteelCloud, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCLD), a leading engineering and manufacturing integrator of network centric and embedded computing solutions, today announced it has joined the BlackBerry® Solution Provider Alliance Program. In conjunction with joining the program, SteelCloud also announced that it has designed and produced a unique product line - the SteelCloud SteelWorks Mobile Server for BlackBerry® Enterprise Server from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX RIMM). The product combines SteelCloud's specially-designed hardware and software with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software in a unique package designed for small-to-medium businesses (SMB).
SteelCloud's solution gives users the ability to purchase, or lease for a very low monthly fee, a complete hardware and software solution that incorporates the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software with SteelCloud's SteelWorks(TM) software and works with the common e-mail server software used by most organizations. SteelCloud's SteelWorks(TM) software includes a unique Installation Wizard that easily walks non-technical users through the installation process in approximately 30 minutes. Other SteelWorks(TM) features include:
o MailChoice(TM) allowing the user to select Microsoft® Exchange,
IBM® Lotus® Domino® or Novell® GroupWise® e-mail servers
o SteelRestore(TM), which performs backup, restore and rollback in case
of failure
o SureAudit(TM), which guarantees the number of purchased licenses are
not exceeded
"The SMB market is looking for a low-cost mobile wireless email solution that is easy to use and that does not require highly-technical personnel for operation and maintenance," said Clifton W. Sink, SteelCloud CEO and President. "We have made a significant investment to bring this product to fruition. We believe that this offering will add yet another dimension to the value we contribute to this exciting market."
In the beta phase of a pilot program, over 100 units of the SteelCloud SteelWorks(TM) Mobile Server for BlackBerry Enterprise Server have been sold. This robust pilot program allowed SteelCloud to further refine the product prior to today's general release.
