This is the first commercially available Mobile UC solution on Samsung smartphones for both CPE-based and hosted deployments. This announcement comes two months after Samsung and DiVitas announced that they had collaborated to Advance Samsung`s Software Developer Kit for Mobile UC. A key feature of the DiVitas Mobile UC Client on the Samsung smartphones is the ability to mobilize and combine Business Voice and IM with social networking (Mobile Presence and Status). The business benefit to this collaborative-rich environment is enabling colleagues to connect on first try, stay connected and stay engaged. Available today, the DiVitas Mobile UC solution has been seamlessly integrated with Samsung Mobile`s broad portfolio of smartphones operating on both CDMA and GSM wireless networks, including the Samsung Omnia, Samsung Epix and Samsung Saga. "The DiVitas Mobile UC solution is a prime example of how Samsung Mobile is collaborating with other proven innovators to strengthen our efficient and flexible offerings to enterprise businesses and users," said Gavin Kim, vice president, Content, Data Services and Enterprise Mobility, Samsung Mobile. "Businesses and their workforces look to smartphones to stay connected and productive while out of the office. The DiVitas solution, integrated with Samsung Mobile devices, raises the bar even higher by merging the landline desk phone connection with the mobile smartphone user and mobilizing UC capabilities to ensure user productivity and collaboration." "Providing our customers with a best of breed Mobile UC solution requires cooperation from closely related technology providers that are far bigger than DiVitas," said Vivek Khuller, President and CEO of DiVitas Networks. "I have been personally impressed by how aggressively the Samsung team has executed on this alliance. It is clear to me that this is a company that is 100% committed to becoming a leading voice in the enterprise mobility space, and I am pleased to be standing beside them."
