NetMotion
NetMotion provides secure remote access to corporate network resources from virtually anywhere through a mobile virtual private network (VPN).
Because traditional VPNs do not perform well in wireless environments,
NetMotion has developed a mobile VPN that deals with the challenges of mobile
computing, including wireless security, performance, roaming issues and the
multitude of devices, such as smartphones and laptops, that may be attached to
the network.
NetMotion’s mobile VPN is designed to provide staff on the move with secure
access to the corporate network.
Upaid
The startup enables banks, operators and merchants to offer easy-to-use mobile payment applications to consumers.
Adoption of the Upaid mobile payment platform is diverse and niche, ranging from a Parisian retail group to a Serbian mobile operator with wide-scale implementation throughout Brazil. Although mobile payments have been promised for years, it now seems that mobile phones may be ready to replace a pocketful of small change, too.
Phoenix Media
The virtual reality of Second Life may seem a world away from the real business of corporate life. However, its expanding community is being taken extremely seriously by forward-thinking companies.
New media technologies, such as Second Life, YouTube and MySpace, offer flexible and cheaper marketing opportunities. For example, all the vending machines in Second Life are branded by Coca-Cola.
Phoenix Media helps companies get to grips with the business models offered in Web 2.0.
Socialtext
For constantly connected individuals, miki is a mobile version of collaboration specialist Socialtext’s enterprise wiki.
Using a mobile web browser and a simplified user interface, miki connects users to their secure and editable web sites. Claiming to reduce email overload and stimulate group collaboration, users can use miki to access content from anywhere at anytime using a mobile handset.
ZenZui
A Microsoft spin-off, ZenZui is a new kind of content browser designed specifically for mobile phones.
Promising the end of the need to navigate through long test lists of web sites, ZenZui is a tiled and pictorial interface that has been developed by experts in human-computer interaction, refined over three years of development.
Initially launching as an advertising platform, ZenZui’s browser may eventually become a mobile equivalent of the standard desktop, as it offers fast and intuitive access to corporate applications and resources.
