News International, the arm of News Corporation in the United Kingdom, looked to offer top executives and editors a mobile solution that combined voice, data, and e-mail on a single device. The media giant considered a BlackBerry solution from Research In Motion, but decided against it because of concerns about cost, administration expense, and flexibility. With an existing investment in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, communication and collaboration server, News International opted for mobile devices, powered initially by Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 and now upgraded to Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. The solution provides users with direct push e-mail, giving them access to messages anytime, anywhere.
