Nokia inks deal with Australian company Leopard Labs

The solution is available through the Try For Free portal which end-users can access from Nokia’s Eseries and Nseriesrange via the Nokia.mobi site.

Leopard Labs has developed the software solution to manage how staff use
company-funded mobile phones.

“Amid the most challenging economic environment seen since the Great Depression, we understand that business owners have never been under greater pressure to keep costs down,” said Meg Dennis Leopard Labs spokeswoman.

“We are hearing our customers tell us they need to grow the business to take advantage of market opportunities, and at the same time find smarter ways to cut costs.

“Our mozone solution means that business owners now have a comprehensive tool to manage the way staff use mobile phones, including the critical issue of internet access from mobile devices.

According to Dennis, business owners can manage the use of internet-enabled mobile devices in the same way they manage the use of PCs.

mozone can: control what internet content staff access via mobile phones, block access to sites such as MySpace, Facebook and those with adult content.

Restrict the use of camera functions on mobiles within business hours to prevent
loss of corporate data, prevent access to expensive premium rate services, protect business networks with anti-spam and anti-virus technology and separate the personal and business use of a mobile phone.

“Until now, no such solution to manage mobile services has been available,” said Dennis.
