Posted on: Tuesday, 20 January 2009, 07:00 CST

WEST HENRIETTA, N.Y., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Odyssey Software, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class device management software products, today announced that it has formed a technology partnership with CloudSync, a leader in mobile device management technology. Under this new partnership, CloudSync will integrate Odyssey's award-winning Athena(TM) technology into its console for a best-in-class mobile device management solution ideal for use "outside the four walls."

Because no server infrastructure is required, the CloudSync solution enables organizations to quickly setup, manage, support and secure its remote devices anywhere in the world through their web-based Device Manager console. CloudSync's partnership with Odyssey Software enables it to leverage Athena's flexible, modular and easy-to-integrate software products to provide a comprehensive mobile device management solution perfectly suited for mobile line of business applications such as field sales and service, and pickup and delivery.

"We strive to develop a highly intuitive and pain-free mobile device management experience for our customers, many of whom use Windows Mobile(R) based devices," said Nigel Thompson, CEO of CloudSync. "Odyssey Software provides the best mobile management extensions for Windows Mobile on the market. Beyond functioning as an essential component of our solution, Odyssey's support, when needed, is rapid and responsive to meet our needs."

Athena is uniquely designed to integrate directly into the native infrastructure of existing management consoles without the need for proprietary Odyssey Software servers, unlike all other device management products, which require their own proprietary server, console and database infrastructure. Specifically architected to be flexible, modular and seamless to integrate, Athena is the only comprehensive mobile device management solution that enables organizations to take advantage of their existing enterprise management investments, thereby leveraging the inherent scalability, security, reliability and fail-over capabilities of these industry-standard platforms.

"Mobile devices have moved beyond the traditional four walls, and the market is calling for mobile device management solutions which can adapt to meet the complexities this presents," said Tom Robinson, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Odyssey Software. "We are dedicated to working with our independent software vendor partners to deliver highly relevant, leading edge mobile device management solutions, which is why we designed Athena to be adaptable to suit the needs of each individual customer and to integrate seamlessly into existing device management platforms."
