OfficeDesktop said that the agreement allows OfficeDesktop servers to directly synchronize e-mail and data between mobile devices utilizing Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync technology.

The Exchange ActiveSync protocol enables mobile client devices such as Windows Mobile-based smartphones to synchronize e-mail messages, calendar items, contacts, task lists and other mailbox data with OfficeDesktop.

Bob Mathew, CEO of OfficeDesktop, said: "This agreement allows OfficeDesktop application servers to directly synchronize with various mobile devices, including those using Windows Mobile, that utilize Exchange ActiveSync.

"Our small and medium-sized business customers have been demanding real-time syncing with their smartphone devices for quite a while. Exchange ActiveSync technology enables this mobility and greatly enhances our world-class messaging and collaboration solution. Our wholesale partners were also demanding this capability to stay competitive in the marketplace."
