Gen-i media statement for Windows Phone 7 Launch
21 October 2010

“With many clients leveraging Microsoft applications to run their business, the launch of Windows Phone 7 has been keenly anticipated. It offers an exciting platform for businesses to develop applications which work across mobile, desktop and cloud-based services.

“The seamless integration across fixed and mobile technologies will help our clients maximise their existing investments and easily extend their business applications out to mobile devices.

“Windows Phone 7 also gives our clients the ability to provide their people with a mobile tool that spans both business and personal worlds. It gives users a tool for their work – a “toolbox”, as well as a device for personal entertainment applications – their “toybox”.

“The ability for users to access familiar business applications quickly from the Start screen, and the seamless interface with Sharepoint, Office and Exchange, create great opportunities for businesses looking to improve productivity, responsiveness and collaboration across the workplace.

“For clients using our cloud infrastructure services, the platform supports mobile access to Microsoft’s BPOS suite of hosted messaging and application tools.

“We’ve already had keen interest from our clients, with around 50 per cent of our LG Optimus 7Q devices already pre-sold to clients.

“As a long-term Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we are excited by the opportunity to help our clients take advantage of the Windows Phone 7 platform to develop converged solutions that combine IT and telecommunications to help address the key challenges their business face.”
