Announcing a Strategic Partnership

Connect, Inc. and Soft360, Inc. are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to bring a new set of product offerings to the mobile marketplace. Soft360 offers an ASP-based suite of mobile device management tools on a subscription basis.

The new partnership will offer the ability for end users to subscribe to Connect's Twin Client emulation software on a month-by-month basis. Soft360 is offering a "Lite" version of their base product that will be incorporated with Twin Client.

Nigel Thompson, CEO of Soft360, Inc., says, "We look forward to our strategic relationship with Connect as we grow our product line and range of offerings. We will be incorporating several key capabilities of our web-based device management tool along with Connect's Twin Client. Customers now have a new method of deploying and maintaining their wireless data collection systems."

The device management set of features will allow users to have:

* Remote application deployment and automatic
updates when new versions are available
* Billing and license management with support for channel partners
* Remote recovery of the device and reload of your applications in a hard-reboot scenario

Chris Christofferson, CEO of Connect, Inc., says "This relationship provides our partners and customers with new flexibility as they make their decisions about how to best implement their mobile applications. Companies that want the assurance of always having the current release will automatically have updates delivered to their devices with this new offering. Additionally, companies that face increasing cost pressures when implementing their systems can reduce their cash flow requirements using this new product offering."

For information about the availability of this new offering, contact Jim Dooley. He can be reached by email at jim@connectrf.com or by phone at (636) 536-1171.
