console as used for desktop, laptop and IT asset management. The
new suite: -- Offers comprehensive assessment of handheld
technology on multiple platforms * Speed software audits while
identifying unauthorized applications that increase exposure to
system incompatibilities and security threats * Reduce
troubleshooting and problem analysis costs by making handheld
inventory instantaneously available to help desk and IT support
staff * Eliminate the unknown by consolidating handheld asset data

updates * Custom management of intermittently connected users with

PocketPC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003, RIM 800/900 and BlackBerry
5000-7000 series handhelds, and will support Palm OS later this
year According to Gartner research, "It does not look like handheld
device integration is a passing fad, especially as technologies
like smartphones gain popularity. The initial reaction to ignore
handheld device integration into the enterprise will not be an
intelligent business decision in the months and years to come."***
