Nokia Drops Enterprise E-mail Platform to Focus on Consumers

From PC World: Nokia will stop developing its enterprise mobile e-mail platform Intellisync: its future enterprise e-mail systems will be based on platforms from Cisco, Microsoft and IBM, among others.

"It doesn't make too much sense for us to create our own when we can partner with the best solutions in the market," said Dinesh Subramanian, spokesman at Nokia.

Existing enterprise e-mail customers will now be given the option to move to a new solution, from one of the partners or its own upcoming consumer e-mail platform, or other Internet platforms, according to Subramanian.

Internal resources previously devoted to Intellisync will instead be reallocated to Nokia's consumer service push, but the underlying technology will still have a place. "The technology from Intellisync will very much come in handy when we go forward with our consumer e-mail strategy," said Subramanian.
