Synchronica wins European Seal of e-Excellence at CeBIT for SimpleMail

Royal Tunbridge Wells, UK - 9 March 2009 - Synchronica, the international provider of mobile email and synchronization solutions, has been awarded the European Seal of e-Excellence at CeBIT for the third year in a row. The jury, comprising representatives from the European Multimedia Forum (EMF), awarded Synchronica a Silver Seal of e-Excellence for the mobile email product Synchronica SimpleMail. The prestigious European Seal of e-Excellence rewards ICT and Digital Media companies that have demonstrated an excellent track record in product/service innovation and marketing.

Synchronica SimpleMail is an innovative solution that pushes emails to virtually any mobile device on the market. SimpleMail supports email-to-SMS and email-to-MMS gateways and Push-to-WAP/xHTML browser access, making it ideal for entry-level phones. Users of entry-level handsets send and receive emails as a standard SMS or MMS; their replies are then converted back to email. SimpleMail also includes a document transcoding gateway, which allows a variety of attachments - such as Word, Powerpoint and PDF documents - to be displayed on mass-market phones. This gateway also optimizes images for display on a mobile phone, thereby reducing bandwidth requirements. 

Users can sign up for the service from their mobile phones, rather than having to do so from a PC. This is a major advantage, particularly in emerging markets, where PC/broadband penetration is low.

Nicole Meissner, Chief Marketing Officer of Synchronica, said: "Worldwide there are more than 4 billion mobile phone users and more than two billion mailboxes. Our mobile email solution works on anything from smart phones right through to feature phones and entry-level devices. Recognition from the EMF for the third year in a row is testimony to our leading-edge products and innovative marketing strategies."
