Antepo, Inc. released a new BlackBerry® add-on client to OPN System, the companys Enterprise IM (EIM) solution. This is the first and only client that is interoperable with all standards-based EIM solutions.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 29, 2004 --- Antepo, Inc. (www.antepo.com), a pioneer of secure, interoperable Enterprise Instant Messaging (EIM), today announced the availability of a new BlackBerry® add-on client to OPN System, the companys client-server EIM solution. The BlackBerry client extends enterprise connectivity to mobile executives using BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds, offering access to OPN Systems secure, cross-platform instant messaging capabilities while in meetings or on the move.

The wireless handheld has graduated from gadget to necessity for many organizations -- evident by widespread BlackBerry use at corporations, financial institutions, and government institutions which require constant connectivity, regardless of location," said Maxime Seguineau, Chairman and CEO of Antepo. The addition of instant messaging and presence functionality makes the BlackBerry environment truly real-time, with dial tone-like availability."

OPN System is the first and only EIM solution on the market to support interoperability between all XMPP and SIP/SIMPLE standards-based systems, enabling real-time communications across any IM network. Antepos new BlackBerry client makes EIM mobile, so OPN System users can enjoy the same interoperability, security, and reliability of their desktop IM environment while on-the-go. OPN System also offers extensive, built-in security and compliance features, including federated user access and built-in archiving functionality.

The new OPN Client for BlackBerry is currently being demonstrated by Antepo in Booth 302 at Information Management Networks Financial Services Email, Instant Messaging & Collaboration Summit in New York. Contact Antepo for pricing and other information.
