Phone 7 Upgrade Adds Business Features and Security
New business and security features for the next update of Windows Phone 7 were outlined at Microsoft?s Tech-Ed conference. From desktop synchronization to information management, Windows Phone 7 will challenge Android and Apple devices. And if Microsoft?s acquisition of Skype is approved, it will be able to offer even more features.
Microsoft unveiled a new swath of business -oriented capabilities for its next-generation Windows Phone 7 platform at the software giant?s Tech-Ed conference in Atlanta on Monday. Among other things, the new mobile platform, code-named Mango, will make it possible for mobile workers to synchronize their handset e-mail and calendars with the same apps running on desktop PCs or laptops and gain access to hidden corporate Wi-Fi networks.
Slated for commercial release later this year, Mango will provide security -conscious IT departments with support for complex alphanumeric passwords. Moreover, enterprises will be able to protect corporate e-mails and Microsoft Office documents through the application of new information-rights-management technology being built into Microsoft?s mobile platform.
?Mango is a big release and we are seeing more and more capabilities come out,? said Al Hilwa, director of applications software development at IDC. ?At Tech-Ed the focus is on business, even though some of what?s talked about is useful for both business and consumer, which is a hallmark of where we are in mobile technology now ? namely, that you can?t easily divide the two anymore.?
Windows Phone 7 handset users running Mango will be able to search their company?s Microsoft Exchange server for older e-mails no longer stored on the phone so mobile users will have ready access to all their messages. What?s more, users will be able to save and share Office documents through Office 365 and Windows Live SkyDrive as well as consolidate incoming e-mail messages into a conversation view.
Microsoft also expects to provide business users with access to a set of unified communications capabilities, including instant messaging as well as the ability to see the presence of coworkers. The software giant?s new mobile Lync app ?will be a free download from Windows Phone Marketplace and will be enabled with support from your business organization,? Microsoft blogger Paul Brian wrote.
