Thursday 3 September 2009 – Cork, Ireland – Award-winning FancyFon™, a pioneer in unlocking the capabilities of next generation mobile communications, today extended its leadership as the provider of choice for centralized multi-platform mobile device lifecycle management, by announcing the addition of the Apple iPhone to the technologies that it currently supports from a single pane.

FancyFon Mobility Center (FAMOC™) is a centralized mobile device lifecycle management platform that enables customers to control a fleet of mobile phones, over multiple platforms - including Symbian, RIM Blackberry, Windows Mobile, UIQ, Java-based feature phones, and now the iPhone - in realtime, over the air.

This announcement means that FancyFon customers are now able to deliver security policies and certificates to iPhones, including password policies, application restrictions and advanced network configurations. FAMOC users are now also able to remotely configure services such as Exchange (for corporate mail and calendar synchronisation), email and online calendar on their iPhone.

Dietmar Fuchs, COO at FancyFon commented, “The way that organisations now operate, across multiple locations with staff often working remotely, and with increasing amounts of business being carried out over the mobile phone, an employee’s mobile device is playing an increasingly significant role in the success of a business. Therefore, the availability, security and robustness of that mobile device are becoming of critical concern to the business. There has never been a better time to invest in an over-the-air mobile device lifecycle management solution, and at FancyFon, we find that we are best placed to ensure our customers with business continuity through superior mobile device management.”
