    Telispark Mobile Enterprise Solution Lets Remote Workers Go Where Networks Don't

    Infowave Software has been judged to have the "Best IBM WebSphere(i) On Demand Solution" in the annual IBM PartnerWorld Beacon Awards competition, honoring IBM Business Partners for their ingenuity, customer satisfaction and outstanding achievements in providing on demand business solutions.

    Telispark Mobile Enterprise from Infowave lets remote workers access enterprise-wide information from the field, often in places beyond the reach of conventional networks. Based on IBM technology that includes IBM WebSphere, pervasive computing and eServer(i) products, Telispark offers a single user workflow that crosses many back-end systems, letting mobile professionals send and receive work orders, order parts and document service calls - all at the point-of-work.
