Lufthansa Systems today announced the immediate availability of Mobility Package and Mobility Audit, two competitively priced service packages facilitating an enterprise's entry into mobile business applications.

The new services of Lufthansa Systems address medium-sized and large enterprises from all industries that need to integrate mobile or remote staff into business-critical processes or exchange mobile data with suppliers. Mobile applications also offer enormous benefits for technical field staff and the sales force as employees can access corporate data from anywhere, which can be of critical importance during a sales pitch or a service visit.

Entry made easy
The new Mobility Package for medium-sized and large enterprises comprises ten mobile terminal devices and all services required for integration and operation, including the provision of server capacity and connecting the mobile devices to an existing IT infrastructure. The terminal devices used by Lufthansa Systems are modern PDA solutions from different vendors that are tailored to their specific application purpose. Prices for the Mobility Package start at 29 euros.

During a one-day Mobility Audit, interested company and IT managers can experience the potential benefits offered by mobile technologies. The consultancy service shows how mobile solutions can accelerate existing processes and what kind of business value can be derived from implementing them.

Gaining a competitive edge with mobile solutions
As an IT service provider, Lufthansa Systems offers all services that are necessary to implement a mobile infrastructure from a single source. This includes the integration of mobile terminal devices into an existing or yet to be developed application environment and the management of mobile solutions. Furthermore, Lufthansa Systems provides and reliably monitors the communications infrastructure necessary for operation. Security services round out the offer from Lufthansa Systems: These services comprise consultancy to protect business-critical data and the implementation of security solutions such as firewalls or virus filters.
