Nokia expands Intellisync Device Management Offering for Businesses

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced extended support for Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) compliant business devices. Its Intellisync Device Management solution for businesses now enables remote device management without requiring any software installation on the OMA DM capable devices. Businesses can significantly reduce the IT support costs by deploying an effective remote device management system. For IT administrators, an easy-to-use administrative web-interface allows remote management of OMA DM compliant business devices, with access to a device management server located either within a company’s own premises or at a service provider’s or mobile operator’s facilities.

Intellisync Device Management can be used for managing a company’s business devices from the moment they are deployed until the end of their life cycle. The solution can now manage configurations and settings, application distribution, installation, upgrade and uninstallation as well as maintain security policies. Furthermore, a lost or misplaced device can be locked or wiped remotely. The solution will be essential in large scale voice and email solution deployments for comprehensively managing settings in employees’ devices.

The new offering complements the existing Intellisync Mobile Suite multi-platform software, Intellisync Device Management for mobile devices using Symbian, Palm (NSDQ: PALM), Pocket PC, Windows and other handheld operating systems. Furthermore, the new offering supports advanced device management capabilities, first introduced with the Nokia Eseries.

This offering is a part of the Intellisync Device Management solution available for businesses of all sizes either as part of an in-house corporate IT solution or as a hosted service from a service provider or a mobile operator. The Intellisync Device Management product is a part of a broader Nokia Unified Device Management Solution offering for enterprises, mobile operators and service providers that will help operators manage all their customer segments and device management operations.
