Oki to offer EXaaS mobile desk service

ntttttttttttt

Oki on Wednesday announced the launch of EXaaS SmartWorkspace, a cloud service group designed to minimize the total cost of installing, operating, maintaining, and managing office IT equipment, including smartphones, tablets, PCs, telephones (PBX), multifunction printers (MFPs), and printers.

As part of this effort, the EXaaS Mobile Desk cloud computing service provides secure, easy access to in-house corporate data and systems from mobile devices (including smartphones and tablets) from locations outside the company.

The company will begin offering the service from January 2012 in the Japanese market.

Many companies are currently considering deploying mobile devices for various business tasks, including checking email, handling calls on virtual extension lines, or accessing in-house data from locations outside the company, with the goal of making business more efficient and enhancing customer service. However, this potential has been overshadowed by concerns related to the time and effort required for deployment and various security issues, including the unintended information leaks in the event of device theft or loss.

“We have introduced our EXaaS Mobile Desk Service to address these issues. The service allows employees to check in-house corporate data and updates on specific websites by accessing documents, email, and schedules whenever needed, using no more than two taps on a mobile device,” says Sei Yano, Senior Vice President, responsible for Solutions and Services at Oki. “The files are not actually located on the mobile devices, allowing secure use of the information needed. Deploying Com@WILL Softphone Smart allows companies to link devices to their in-house IP-PBX systems and provide virtual extension lines from locations outside the company site.”
