Heavily dependent upon email to stay current with customers, Money Mart had specific requirements for a mobile messaging solution. The company needed an easy-to-use interface with the familiar functionality of Microsoft Outlook, as well as robust security and mature administration tools. After a thorough evaluation of both Research In Motions BlackBerry solution and GoodLink, Money Mart chose to deploy GoodLink on palmOne Treo 600 smartphones.
Mobile access to data and messaging is mission-critical for our executive and field teams," said Bruce Cumming, vice president information technology, Money Mart. Good Technology is the only vendor that offered us an intuitive interface with robust functionality and the freedom to choose from a range of wireless devices.

We have worked with Good Technology to empower mobile lawyers in U.S. based law firms, and we are confident that Good and PensEra can deliver high value to Canadian professionals."
