Honda Motor Europe says it has increased employee productivity since going for iAnywhere’s OneBridge mobility solution to provide push email and PIM for employees across the UK and Europe.
Says Honda customer support manager Mervyn Eyles: “Honda had identified that many of its employees were losing productivity each week as a result of dead time. This consisted of several periods of up to 15 minutes each during the day when our employees were perhaps waiting for meetings to start, and they did not have time to boot up laptops to check email.
“We realised that with a push email solution provided to employees via a fleet of PDAs, this dead time could be used to keep them in touch with the rest of the business and maximise productivity during working hours.”
He says that iAnywhere’s OneBridge was chosen because of its flexible, scalable architecture, cross platform capabilities, attachment handling and support for multi-byte character sets, such as Japanese. He also says it was more ‘enterprise ready’, with its in-built monitoring capabilities and ability to support a geographically dispersed Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange infrastructure.
“We were very impressed with the speed at which OneBridge was deployed, and we have had 100% email retrieval so far,” he says. “The feedback from users has also been extremely positive and we are confident that OneBridge will help to fulfil our aims.”
