Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) August 29, 2003 -- JP Mobileâ, Inc.

Mobile employees can now more easily and quickly register a device and install the client software in a single step from a Web-based interface. Using a patent-pending process and technology, the users configuration information, with the exception of the password, is automatically loaded on the device during the installation process. The administrator can now spend less time training and assisting new users. In addition, the primary administrator can now add multiple secondary administrative accounts for help desk personnel to access SureWave and add, delete or monitor users.

With growing concerns for data security, SureWave gives enterprises a secure, direct connection between mobile devices and data behind the corporate firewall. Using the new version of SureWave, IT managers can safely extend new features to the mobile workforce including attachment viewing, access to a global address book and e-mail message filtering.
