OREANDA-NEWS. August 19, 2011. Fujitsu launched a network service that enables smartphones and tablets to securely connect to a corporate intranet, reported the press-centre of Fujitsu.

With the new Mobile Browser Connection Service, customers can connect to a company's internal network over the FENICS II Universal Connect (*1) service from a mobile device equipped with a special FENICS (*2) Browser application from Fujitsu. This, in turn, enables enterprise users to access websites, applications, web e-mail, groupware, address books, and other resources without leaving business data and logs on their mobile devices. As a result, users are freed from having to worry about information leaks and can securely browse and update data.
Background

Amid a remarkable spread in the use of smartphones and tablets, companies are increasingly facing the need to employ such devices in a wide range of business scenarios. On the other hand, due to uncertainty about information leaks and other security risks, as well as concerns about deployment costs and operational burdens, many customers are hesitant to use mobile devices as part of their business processes.

In light of these circumstances, Fujitsu is offering the Mobile Browser Connection Service, a network service that enables mobile devices to securely connect to a corporate intranet. In addition, as an added service, Fujitsu will be offering the Mobile Content Conversion Service, which converts website content intended for PCs into a format that is easily viewable on mobile devices.
