Xerox and Nokia to Provide Document Access On Mobile Phones
Xerox' MobileDoc Software Allows Users to Fax or E-mail
Documents Using Nokia 7100 Series
ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2000--Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX - news) today announced it will provide document access via Xerox MobileDoc(TM) software on Nokia 7100 Series web-enabled mobile phones.
MobileDoc allows customers to fax or e-mail documents remotely from handheld devices designed for wireless Internet access.
Xerox Mobile Solutions and Nokia will demonstrate MobileDoc on the 7100 Series at the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association 2000 show (CTIA) at Nokia's Partner Pavilion booth in New Orleans next week. MobileDoc will be
available as an enhanced service for the Nokia 7100 Series later this year.
MobileDoc complements Nokia's mobile phones by giving customers access to networked documents WITHOUT having to rely on heavy laptops or briefcases full of papers. Sales professionals, for example, can have the appropriate sales literature sent to a nearby fax machine or e-mail address at the touch of a button - controlled by a device that snaps comfortably on their belt or fits easily inside a pocket.
"With its progressive hardware developments, Nokia is creating valuable platforms for the mobile information society," said
Clarence Wesley, general manager, Xerox Mobile Solutions.
"Combining Xerox MobileDoc software with Nokia's advanced mobile devices extends the usability of those devices, and for the first time, Nokia users can access and control networked documents from their handheld device."
As increasing numbers of professionals are spending less time in the office and more time on the road, Nokia wants to offer the best-available mobile services to help increase their productivity," said Paul Chellgren, vice president, business development and product management, Nokia Mobile Phones. ''Xerox technology and Xerox understanding of corporate work processes combine in MobileDoc, giving mobile professionals an essential tool for the new way that they work.'' |
