HansaWorld joins Forum Nokia Enterprise Zone

Application Developer Receives Specialized Nokia Marketing Support and Access to Business Development Opportunities

Helsinki, Finland. January 16, 2006 – HansaWorld, a leading integrated business software developer, today announced that it has become a member of the Forum Nokia PRO Enterprise Zone, a support program for software developers that want to work more closely with Nokia Enterprise Solutions, the arm of Nokia helping businesses and institutions worldwide improve performance through extended mobility. As a member of the PRO Enterprise Zone, HansaWorld will receive exclusive technical, business development and marketing support enabling it to engage Nokia Enterprise Solutions and its customers with offerings that complement Nokia’s enterprise product line.

The PRO Enterprise Zone program will promote application and solution development for Nokia Series 80- and S60-based business range devices. To qualify for the program, developer companies must have experience in developing enterprise grade business solutions and demonstrated capabilities in the enterprise market in addition to demonstrated Nokia competencies.

PRO Enterprise Zone members will receive regional Nokia Enterprise Solutions business development and marketing support, enhanced opportunities for product loans and exclusive previews of Nokia Enterprise Solutions roadmaps.

By becoming an Enterprise Zone member, HansaWorld will experience a strong working relationship with the Enterprise Solutions business unit that will help the company optimize its solutions for Nokia's enterprise phones and ensure close integration of its software with Nokia’s devices.

"Providing our customers with true real-time access to their corporate data is a top priority for us. The ability for business managers to be in control, anywhere, is quickly becoming a standard and close cooperation with Nokia lets HansaWorld be among the definers of this new service," said Karl Bohlin, HansaWorld's managing director.

Enterprise by HansaWorld is one of the broadest ERP and CRM suites on the market, with a wide variety of functions that make it suitable for most businesses. Available now on the Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator, HansaWorld Business Organizer provides real-time access to all parts of the suite, not only for reporting, but also for updating information.

“This product is a breakthrough in mobile computing," says Karl Bohlin. "Users are no longer hampered by slow synchronizations of limited parts of corporate data. With the HansaWorld Business Organizer you have your company at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere,” he adds.

HansaWorld targets small and medium companies globally with its integrated business software bringing together financials, ERP, CRM, e-Business, retail, production and hotel management functions. Similarly to PC, Mac, Linux or Pocket PC, Enterprise also runs in full functionality on Symbian-powered Nokia Series 80 businessphones.

The Forum Nokia PRO Enterprise Zone program was developed by Forum Nokia, Nokia’s global developer support program as part of its Forum Nokia PRO membership offering. Launched in 2004, Forum Nokia PRO has enlisted more than 400 advanced developer companies.
