Unilever Adopts NetMotion Tech
SEATTLE — NetMotion Wireless, Inc., the acknowledged
leader among mobile VPN solution providers, has announced that Unilever plc,
a world leader in consumer goods, has selected NetMotion Wireless Mobility
XE and Mobility XE Policy Management to secure and enable Unilever field
sales representatives around the world. Mobility XE will provide thousands
of Unilever field representatives (each of whom will use a Windows Mobile
5.0 device provided by HP) with secure, uninterrupted access to enterprise
applications over a wide variety of wireless and wired networks worldwide.
Mobility XE met the rigorous demands of Unilever’s security policies,
including support for RSA SecurID two-factor authentication. In addition,
Mobility XE enables line-of-business applications to run effectively
wherever and whenever business is transacted.
Unilever depends on its field sales team to secure orders for products from
wholesale and retail outlets across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
The sales team requires secure and reliable communications in order to
access mission-critical information in real-time and submit sales orders for
immediate processing while on the road. Unilever evaluated a wide range of
architecture alternatives to replace its existing end-of-life solution,
ultimately selecting NetMotion Mobility XE for its high performance and
reliability levels, Policy Management, and track record of successful
large-scale implementations.
Richard Oxenham, Mobile Solutions Specialist with Unilever stated, “Over the
last six months Unilever has carefully considered the correct tactical
approach for our deployment of Windows Mobile devices in a rapidly evolving
sector. We needed to establish an architecture which met the full variety of
demands across our global business operations. NetMotion Mobility XE is the
only product which met all our requirements for the project including secure
and persistent application connectivity for a variety of PDA devices.”
