Thousands of Users are Switching to Good Technology for Enterprise-class Security, Support and Device Choice SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology, Inc. (http://www.good.com/), the leading provider of industry standards-based enterprise handheld computing software and service, today announced that Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS) has replaced its BlackBerry system with GoodLink(TM) from Good Technology running on Palm OS(R) based Palm(R) Treo(TM) 650 smartphones, and Pocket PC devices. The company is running GoodLink on carriers Sprint and T-Mobile in the United States, and Orange in Europe. Thomson is the leading provider of technology and services to the media and entertainment industry. With over 50,000 global employees, many of whom travel regularly, the company needs to pass sensitive information quickly, securely and easily across the organization, and provide 24x7 access to e-mail. Thomson switched from BlackBerry to GoodLink to empower IT to enhance control and security, as well as enable employees to choose their preferred mobile computing device. "The security features that Good offers, especially the ability to remotely 'wipe' data from any lost or stolen device, gives me real peace of mind and ensures that sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands," said Claude Fossati, worldwide voice telecom manager, Thomson, Inc. "In addition, Good has added Good Mobile Defense(TM) to further increase security. This is a product I believe everybody should use." Good's industry standards-based approach enables Thomson to support multiple device types. Already, nearly a thousand employees are using GoodLink on the Palm Treo 650 smartphone and Pocket PC devices, a figure that is expected to triple in the near future. In addition, employees will soon be able to use GoodLink on devices running Symbian. Ease of implementation was another key factor in the decision to replace BlackBerry. With Good's Secure Over-The-Air (Secure OTA)(TM) installation, users can activate and update GoodLink themselves, reducing the amount of time spent by the IT department and decreasing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of mobile computing. "An increasing number of large, global organizations are turning to Good Technology to power their mobile computing needs," said Terry Austin, president of worldwide sales and marketing for Good Technology. "Good enables leading enterprises like Thomson to do business wherever they have wireless access, and work anywhere they want to work-securely, flexibly and reliably." Good Mobile Defense brings enterprise-class security to all aspects of the mobile device including third-party applications, external storage cards, and features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. When using Good Mobile Defense in conjunction with GoodLink's Secure Over-The-Air (Secure OTA) technology, IT can set and enforce mobile security policies wirelessly. In addition, IT can use Good Mobile Defense in conjunction with GoodLink Compliance Manager(TM) to ensure that prerequisite applications such as McAfee's Mobile VirusScan are present on mobile devices before corporate data is transmitted.
