COPENHAGEN, August 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- DME Mobile E-Mail Client Provides First Secure Solution for Corporate
E-Mails on the iPhone

Excitor A/S, the mobile e-mail and mobile device management specialist,
has today announced the launch of a DME mobile e-mail client for handling
corporate e-mails on the iPhone. The launch signifies a new era for the
iPhone; providing IT departments with the assurance that executives and
employees can securely access company e-mails, documents and contacts from
their iPhone when away from the office.

The new mobile e-mail support for the iPhone will undoubtedly offer huge
benefits to corporate users, and likewise to IT departments who can finally
have the added assurance that they are adhering to corporate security
policies and government regulations to avoid data breaches. The new mobile
e-mail client from Excitor means that IT departments will now be able to
allow managers, executive and employees to use the iPhone without worrying
about the security implications of doing so.

"Excitor has worked intensively to develop a DME e-mail client compatible
with the iPhone handset. Today's announcement means that the next generation
of iPhones can become a sleek and now also secure professional work tool, not
only limited for consumer use" says Carsten Eliot, CTO at Excitor.

The only enterprise-class e-mail client on the market

According to Eliot, the first iPhone DME e-mail solution will be
available for customers in October of this year:

"The first version of the DME iPhone client will support synchronisation
of contacts and e-mail for both Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino. As
the only solution on the market with these capabilities, it will also include
e-mail attachment support, allow synchronisation of e-mail sub-folders,
search e-mails on the server and allow users to access their global contact
books."

This makes the DME the leading solution for the iPhone when it comes to
enterprise-class synchronisation of e-mails and security facilities.

"Unlike other early market offerings, we have developed a fully secure
mobile e-mail client for the iPhone which does not only rely on the IMAP
protocol or web-based interfaces for e-mail exchange," Eliot continues, "This
enables us to provide our customers with the best possible security while
offering the same administration and infrastructure for the iPhone as the DME
solution provides for all other device types."

Excitor's DME e-mail client for the iPhone will support the same high
level of security and fine grained control options as DME provides for other
mobile handsets. Traffic to the iPhone will be encrypted, and then all
messages on the phone will be stored in an encrypted format and only
decrypted when viewed on the phone. As always with DME mobile e-mail on a
mobile phone, the solution is password protected and the authentication is
fully integrated into both Domino LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory. With
these secure features, enterprise IT Managers have the additional assurance
that the iPhone will not pose security threats to their networks.

iPhone style appeal important for senior executives too

"There is little doubt that the iPhone is a sought after handset, and its
sleek design is a major reason for this demand. However, having stylish
handsets to use in a business environment is equally as important as having
the latest technologies for personal use," adds Torben Haase, CEO at Excitor.

"The majority of requests that the IT department receives for iPhone use
are from executives who have bought an iPhone on their own and who wish to
use it as a company phone. We see strong signs that this trend will
continue."

An important part of Excitor's strategy

Excitor's overall strategy builds on the idea that all employees should
have mobile phones with access to corporate e-mail.

"We recognise two strong trends in the market. Firstly, organisations
have come under increased pressure to make sure that all devices within their
business are secure - this includes mobile phones," says Eliot.

"Secondly, mobile e-mail has become an important tool for organisations
of all sizes who want to be able to offer employees mobile phones that
accommodate individual needs and preferences."

"For us it was a natural step to extend our DME client to the iPhone, to
ensure Excitor continues to deliver a dynamic and innovative product that is
flexible enough to accommodate the wide variety of mobile needs for today's
organisations including the need for high security around corporate data on
mobile phones. With our new, secure DME e-mail client for the iPhone, we have
made it possible for companies to bring this popular device within their
walls, without leaving them vulnerable on the security front."

Free through the Apple Application Store

As with all other applications built for the iPhone, the DME solution
will be distributed via Apple's Application Store. "We will make the DME
solution available for free," comments Eliot, "Our enterprise customers and
partners are eager to get their hands on the iPhone e-mail application, and
we are working to make this available to the market within the next couple of
months."

The DME iPhone e-mail client requires a DME gateway server installed and
DME user licenses. The DME iPhone client will be available for DME server
version 2.0 and onwards.
