Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Motorola are lining up companies with
the expertise to extend and deploy enterprise applications to a
wide variety of mobile devices.
Invisix, a wireless systems integrator owned by Cisco and Motorola,
is set to announce a deal with Xora to use its wireless and voice
solutions for extracting data from mission-critical applications
and deploying out to wireless devices.
Last week, Microsoft announced a deal with MobileWay, a
telecommunications logistics company that has agreements with 89
wireless carriers across the world.
With MobileWay as a partner, Microsoft is
now ready to deploy its wireless middleware product, Microsoft
Mobile Information Server, as a hosted service to companies.
