PointCross Releases SOLO(TM) 3.2, an Adaptive Self-Synchronizing Client for the Remote Worker


HOUSTON, September 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Solo - A Companion Client to Orchestra for Empowering a Global
Workforce

PointCross releases SOLO(TM), version 3.2, a companion client that
extends enterprise Orchestra platform services for secure information
sharing, distribution, search, as well as strategic processes to the remote
worker who is periodically off-line. This release represents a quantum leap
in the way people work, share, communicate, and distribute information, with
utmost security and compliance to policies.

Solo(TM) keeps all information that a user might need in a period of time
spanning the recent past and future. It adapts to the user's usage and
connectivity patterns to Orchestra(TM) which maintains the Ontology of the
enterprise's data, knowledge, and all relationships. Orchestra is an SOA
Environment for accelerating decision making within innovation dependent,
knowledge-intensive enterprises, and as such contains, or points to, all the
information that their knowledge workers might need. When Solo is online, it
automatically synchronizes relevant business-mail, data, and content within
Orchestra. Solo shares information securely in real time with team members
across their shared contexts. Solo uses encryption and one-time pass-codes
for ultra-sensitive negotiations across country borders. It works off-line
providing the same user experience as when online. Solo provides all of the
corporate or generic record management facilities even when off line; and it
displays all the files and their versions of all the content the user has
access to when online.

Solo adapts to the needs, work habits and usage patterns of individual
users, whereas Orchestra adapts to the needs, behavior and usage patterns of
the entire enterprise. Solo can automatically remove legacy, or old,
information including prior document versions that can be retired from the
client machine with the ability to accessing it anytime again from the
server.

Solo runs on Windows Vista/XP machines, and is pre-integrated with all
Microsoft Office and Outlook products and it extends the personal calendar to
include a team, project, and corporate calendar. It can be configured as a
client for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) technology. Users can
invoke an Office application like Word, Excel or PowerPoint from Solo; once
the file is closed, it is automatically saved in Solo. Files in Windows
Explorer, and Outlook mails can be dragged and dropped into a context in
Solo.

"Solo represents a major break from the hamster-treadmill of ever
increasing PC size and power to keep with data complexity and size. With Solo
-- a user only need keep what they are likely to need during the time they
are offline," said Suresh Madhavan, CEO of PointCross. If a user's machine
fails or is lost, there is no risk of lost data because the local store is
encrypted and password protected. A user's machine can be re-constructed on
any machine of their choice once they authenticate themselves at the server.
Distributed Solo clients recover themselves through synchronization with
server information if there is a disastrous loss of data.

"We have been privileged to work with the largest and best oil companies
in the world, such as Royal Dutch Shell, to transform their business to be
more agile and secure," said Suresh Madhavan, PointCross founder and CEO.
"Our customers have helped us configure SOLO into a true game-changer for the
E&P and other industries today. They demand ultra secure dedicated services
for business email, and cross-enterprise workflows that do not compromise
regulations and policies."
