R Technologies Unveils R360 Handheld Mobile Device at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona; Revolutionary Productivity Tool for Businesses

February 16, 2008 - R Technologies today unveiled the R360 handheld software at the GSMA mobile World Congress taking place February 16-19th in Barcelona, Spain. The device, exhibited on the Nokia N810, carries access to and features all the capabilities of the R360 online productivity tool for businesses and groups, and is powered by the coRe™ computing platform. For those not in attendance at the Mobile World Congress, the demo is available at www.r360.com/barcelona .

This combined elegant "Cloud" computing solution offers Mobile and Web-based access to secure and private business productivity suites on higher end phones and mobile devices. R360 offers a new concept in affordable SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions for business enterprises and telecom service providers seeking to offer the latest in mobile technology and monetize existing subscribers.

Steve van Zutphen, President of the “R” group of companies, states, "R360 and R360 mobile are revolutionary products that reduce operating and IT expenses, increase communications capabilities and lead to new business team strategies, thereby, increasing overall company and employee productivity. We have combined a powerful low cost web based service, with easy accessibility and intuitive functionality. We made it so now you can take it with you-your projects, communications, files, contacts, e-mail and more in one easy to use handheld device. No downloading, no installing-your data is now accessible contextually. Click on a name and every piece of data from that source is immediately referenced. This is intelligent self organizing data. It’s everything mobile customers waited for and were disappointed to not find in other so called ‘Smartphones.’ Now this is one smart phone”.

“R360 brings social networking technologies safely and securely into your workplace and enables businesses and teams to    advance their real time collaboration, file sharing, and communications” according to van Zutphen. “Businesses and groups can create their own intranets and project groups." Intranet members can "meet” online to share any type of files, post to ongoing threaded discussion boards or share real time information with anyone, anywhere! R360 and the new R360 mobile device make these files and abilities available to the entire team, on the web and on the phone, in real time, wherever they are.

Co-workers are thus empowered to organize greater volumes of information, exchange and associate emails and files, resulting in getting more done in less time! Managers can oversee multiple projects, teams and applications from a single interface. Intranets and project groups are accessible only by authorized members.

Increasingly, companies and organizations everywhere are finding that maintaining all of their applications on their own servers and by their own IT departments is extremely costly and potentially catastrophic if exceptional care is not taken in backups and security. R360 solves this problem by providing employees with a central online location, where files, people, and communication tools can always be accessed in the office or on the road via the secure cloud.

According to Allen LeWinter, Chief Branding and Marketing Officer for the R group of companies, "Unlike traditional enterprise tools which must be installed by the company's IT department, anyone in any company can start their R360 corporate intranet or project group and invite colleagues to join from their computers and now from their mobile devices. Entire companies can be ready to go and fully coordinated on the R360 cloud in minutes, and R360 spreads virally throughout and across companies and customer bases very much like consumer social networks, but with enterprise level security." LeWinter added, “R360 also includes a secure built-in instant messenger”; co-workers realize the potential of IM for fast business communications, but currently use non-business applications such as MSN, Skype and Gmail chat, which are jeopardized by the transmission of confidential information over the internet. In contrast to non-business chat applications, the R360 instant messenger is very secure and is available only to members or employees of the same Intranet. R360's instant messenger allows instant transfer of files of virtually unlimited size” added LeWinter. “Barcelona is a beginning for the next generation of mobile intranet software for us” said Mr. LeWinter, “this show is the kickoff for a new brand, a new set of comprehensive tools and a new future that we are bringing to the public. It’s a new day with clear skies ahead for cloud computing!”
