Quickoffice® and SoonR Partner to Enable Remote Desktop Access for Smartphone Users
Quickoffice-branded service will provide unparalleled mobile experience for remotely accessing, viewing, editing and sharing users’ PC content
Dallas, Texas - October 16, 2007 - Quickoffice Inc., the leading global provider of mobile office productivity software and services, and SoonR, a global leader in delivering remote access to computer files, applications and content across converged networks, today announced a unique partnership to co-develop a client server solution which enables remote access and the ability to view, edit and share desktop content directly from a user’s mobile device.
The service, branded ‘Quickaccess™,’ will provide busy on-the-go professionals with the ability to access and share their entire content library stored on their laptop and desktop computers, including Office® documents, slide show presentations and images, directly from their mobile phone. Quickaccess eliminates the need to sync files to the phone and files can even be accessed when the computer is turned off. In addition, users can ’push’ content from their phone to their PC with a seamless content management system. The service infrastructure will take advantage of SoonR’s Anytime Access and secure storage capabilities, while Quickoffice will leverage its SVG-T technology and proven mobile client expertise. The result is a mobile client with Internet-based services that delivers elegant content management, unparalleled SVG viewing and network efficiency.
“We’re proud to announce this partnership with Quickoffice. With the company’s strong OEM relationships and vast distribution, we will be able to offer the Quickaccess service to literally tens of millions of users across the world,” said Patrick McVeigh, CEO of SoonR. “Quickoffice has years of mobile client UI experience and continues to provide users with award-winning software and services.”
“We are very excited to work with SoonR, with its carrier-grade infrastructure and easy-to-use service, to continue to provide users with the best interface for the next generation of mobile office,” said Alan Masarek, CEO of Quickoffice. “This collaboration will provide true anytime, anywhere access to a user’s content directly from their mobile device.”
The Quickaccess service will be available to Symbian™ S60 users in early 2008. Users will be able to purchase Quickaccess over-the-air via Quickoffice’s on-device e-commerce application. Additional platforms and distribution channels will be added later.
