Jetform Unveils Wireless Technology to Enable Mobile e-Business Breakthrough technology now enables organizations to easily adopt wireless devices as an integral part of an e-business solution with WML and WAP support OTTAWA, ON, Sept 6 /CNW/ - JetForm(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: FORM, TSE: JFM), a global provider of e-process solutions, today unveiled innovative mobile technology in support of e-business processes. Leveraging JetForm's technology expertise, customers can now send and receive forms via a wireless device for the first time. The first implementation of JetForm's wireless technology will be included in its e-forms product, ReachForm, which now supports Wireless Markup Language (WML) and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). This addresses the needs of connected mobile users-those that have a remote, live connection to the Internet, such as a cellular phone with a micro-browser. "The enterprise demand for wireless data applications is increasing daily," said Phillip Redman, Senior Analyst with Gartner Group. "With the advent of higher-speed packet networks, data devices and most importantly compelling applications, it's not a question of if, but when this market will take off." The integration of wireless support into an e-business model with JetForm technology eliminates complicated reprogramming and will enable JetForm products such as ReachForm to detect and treat microbrowsers on cellular phones the same way it does Web browsers on PCs. The initiative builds on JetForm's existing knowledge of the mobile market where organizations with a disconnected field-force, or users who need to remotely access their corporate network, have already been taking advantage of the rich intelligence offered by JetForm's existing forms solution for Windows Pocket PCs, Pocket Form(TM). "We see wireless technology as a significant component of our long-term strategy," said Greg Davenport of SAFECO Surety. "Frankly, we're interested in anything that will allow us to better serve our customers. This initiative by JetForm is very exciting because it is a tangible example of the potential of wireless to change the way we do business." "Cellular phones are just another delivery mechanism for an increasingly mobile workforce," said Dave Welch, vice president and general manager of the e-forms business group at JetForm Corporation. "JetForm's wireless technology will help our customers integrate cellular phones and other mobile devices into their e-business models. Our work with them ensures this technology fits their business needs and offers significant value." The combination of WML and WAP support, as well as JetForm's electronic process and electronic document presentment capabilities, extends its ability to create truly comprehensive mobile e-business process solutions that reach beyond the desktop to any consumer regardless of the device.
