Vattenfall Europe is Germany's third largest energy supplier and employs 21,000 people. It generated turnover of €10.7 billion (U.S.$13 billion) in 2004. Employees rely on a range of mobile solutions to maintain their productivity while on the move. However, historically, the devices needed direct cable links or dial-up connections to access e-mails and calendar entries. In a bid to boost efficiencies, the company deployed the MDA Messaging Solution, a joint offering from Microsoft and T-Mobile. It synchronises mobile devices with a central Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 communication and collaboration server in real time, using highly-secure radio links.
