OREANDA-NEWS. November 17, 2011. I.T. Co. has made a contract on strategic cooperation to become the sole Russian partner of Cortado (Germany) in the business area of mobile applications. Expansion of the solutions portfolio of the Enterprise Mobility Center of I.T. Co. with Cortado products provides corporate customers with particular advantages in implementation of the projects related to the integration of mobile devices into the enterprise IT landscape.

The companies' partnership in the area of consulting, sales and technical support of Cortado solutions is a natural step in the expansion of operations of the Enterprise Mobility Center of I.T. Co. The partnership status gained by IT Co. specialists enables them by means of Cortado technologies to ensure better application support of the use of smart phones and pads in the corporate environment providing employees of companies and organizations with wide opportunities of efficient work outside their office.

The Cortado Corporate Server solution provides mobile devices with the functionality common for the desktop PC for work with files and makes the work of employees more flexible, regardless of the platform and location. A corporate user has access to enterprise information resources, can receive and send documents stored in corporate file depots, share them by e-mail, review, change, print them, and make any other actions required.

To ensure safety and strict control of mobile devices, Cortado solutions feature the opportunities for organization of a single access point to the enterprise local network, integration with the directory service and the mail server, and other capabilities. The proper level of information security is ensured by means of the SSL and MDS technologies when transmitting compressed and encrypted data. Therefore, users do not need to store all corporate data on a mobile device, but they have an opportunity to easily receive and share files as required when they are off the corporate network. The Cortado solution significantly reduces the risks of unauthorized access to confidential information, even in case of loss of a device.

‘Today, the Enterprise Mobility Center of I.T. Co. is the first and the sole Russian partner focusing on solutions for Cortado's corporate mobile applications. We expect that our cooperation will increase attention to mobility among customers and will entail real steps towards general mobilization of the Russian business,’ emphasizes Bernd Hausmann, Technical Director Cortado AG.

‘Even now, many organizations are ready to increase the efficiency of business processes by implementation of corporate mobility solutions. The recently held Enterprise Mobility Day Conference demonstrated a real interest in this topic on the part of major Russian companies,’ notes Sergey Makaryin, Business Development Director of the Enterprise Mobility Center of I.T. Co. ‘In partnership with Cortado, we provide the market with up-to-date technologies that help corporate users to work on mobile devices with business applications and information resources as easily as at a standard office computer.’
