Exchange Access

  The Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange is a powerful application that extends the reach of Microsoft Exchange email and Personal Information Management (PIM) to mobile users. Companies can access and manage email, along with personal calendars, contacts, task lists, employee directories, and much more – from any wireless device.

Features

Email Messaging The Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange allows users to access and manage email while out of the office. Mobile workers are able to view, create, reply, and forward any email message from any type of wireless device. In addition, access to all personal messaging folders provides comprehensive control over emails and documents.

Calendar, Contacts and Tasks Mobile workers can access and update calendars, contacts and tasks in real-time with these features: Accept and decline meeting invitations Create and send new meeting requests Add, modify and delete Outlook contacts Access and manage Outlook tasks Look-up contact phone numbers and auto-dial from any mobile phone

Exchange Global Address List (GAL) The Exchange Global Address List (GAL) is automatically accessible from a mobile device, and provides access to employee names, phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses and more. In addition, users can perform a look-up and select a phone number or email address to auto-call or auto-address email messages. Secure Information is accessed at the source Exchange account, eliminating redundant mailboxes, which create inherent security risks. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are used to ensure data encryption and secure transmission of information.

Real-time Microsoft Exchange mailboxes are accessed in real-time eliminating the need to synchronize information on the device. Information is reviewed and updated to the source mailbox, keeping the central message store consistently up-to-date. Messages that are created and deleted are updated directly to the user's Exchange mailbox.

Device Compatible The Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange is compatible with virtually all wireless devices, including Internet-enabled mobile phones, Handhelds, Pocket PCs, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).

Voice Integration The Infinite Voice Connector extends the functionality of the Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange by providing voice reply messaging options and text-to-speech email conversion. With the Infinite Voice Connector, users can read email messages on their Internet-enabled mobile phone, then simply reply to the sender with a voice response – rather than manually enter a response on the telephone keypad. Using the text-to-speech engine, the system converts email messages to speech, allowing users to listen, forward, and respond to messages using any touch-tone telephone.

How It Works

The Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange is a server-based application that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange, providing access to functionality that was traditionally limited to the desktop. The installation process is simple and straightforward and the applications all reside behind the corporate firewall.

The Infinite Connector for Microsoft Exchange acts as an email client proxy on behalf of the wireless user, providing the user with a view into their mailbox that is optimized for the small displays and bandwidth constraints of wireless environments. Through this proxy, the user interacts directly with their mailbox, performing all of the standard actions such as reading, replying to, forwarding, and deleting messages. All actions are carried out real time, with updates recorded immediately in the user's mailbox. If the underlying mail system tracks deleted messages in a deleted folder, then messages deleted from the wireless device are also moved into this folder. Similarly, if a "sent messages" folder exists, outbound messages from the wireless device are logged in the appropriate folder.

Client software is not required on the wireless device, enabling easy deployment to users throughout the organization. Users simply enter the URL for the Infinite Mobile Delivery Server on their browser-enabled mobile phone or wireless PDA, enter their existing Exchange user-name and password, and are automatically presented with their own email inbox.
