Streaming Documents and Images for Wireless Email

Technical White Paper

Introduction

The past several years have seen modest growth in enterprise wireless data applications. The benefits of wireless email seem apparent to IT decision-makers, but cost, management and security issues are preventing deployment.

As a result, many users have taken matters into their own hands, making purchase and technology decisions outside of IT control. As costs decrease, security issues get resolved and integration into the enterprise infrastructure becomes easier, other usability and performance issues will begin to arise. Approximately 25% of all emails include attachments, whether documents or images. The ability to deliver, view, edit and manage attachments will also become critical to the broad adoption of wireless email.

In our research, most wireless email users stated that they do not open attachments on their mobile devices, but wait until they get home or to the office. They also stated that the ability to view attachments quickly and easily on mobile devices is increasing in importance, and the ability to edit documents would add significant value to their mobile email experience.

iseemedia’s document streaming technology provides a better document viewing experience on the mobile device, while decreasing load times, and providing better bandwidth utilization. It facilitates better document security and management and makes sharing documents with others easier.
