ASG's Wireless Network Management Solution Wins Silver Award in

the Enterprise Wireless Applications and Systems Category

ASG, an enterprise software and professional services provider to Global 5000 companies, is proud to announce that the editors of TechTarget's SearchNetworking.com have awarded ASG-MobileControl Administrator the Silver Medal for the Enterprise Wireless Applications and Systems category in the 2003 Products of the Year awards. ASG-MobileControl Administrator is an application that enables handheld, wireless Internet-ready devices to serve as remote enterprise systems management consoles.

According to the editors, those receiving medals in the inaugural awards "represent the best products in the industry." SearchNetworking.com's criteria for product evaluation included innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value. To be eligible, products were required to be either shipped between September 30, 2002 and October 1, 2003, or, if previously available, those receiving significant upgrades to features to help meet evolving needs in the marketplace during that period. Product evaluation was conducted by a panel of industry experts, a select group of users and independent industry analysts, with input from SearchNetworking.com editors and members.

"Our judges praised ASG-MobileControl Administrator's ease of use and integration," said the editors of SearchNetworking.com. "The menu-driven software allows users to select their choices from a list of possibilities instead of having to write instructions, and the interface is adaptable to all kinds of wireless devices, whether they are J2ME-, HTML- or WML-compatible." They added, "Transmission is comparatively fast because ASG-MobileControl Administrator caches most of the interface graphics in the device itself and sends only small packets of pertinent data wirelessly. The product also comes with two levels of built-in security and is compatible with most other security solutions, including VPN and RSA SecureID."

"We are very honored to receive this award. It only goes to validate the importance of how new technology, such as ASG-MobileControl Administrator, can help organizations operate more efficiently with simple, yet effective tools," said Arthur L. Allen, CEO of ASG. "The ability to troubleshoot and administrate your key systems from anywhere is going to make 24/7 uptime a reality."

ASG-MobileControl Administrator is part of ASG's Infrastructure Management product family and is the premier remote (wireless) enterprise systems administration tool for Windows platforms. This innovative product can fully manage all users and Windows-, SNMP- and Telnet-enabled devices, including servers, routers, printers and databases, from the convenience of browser-enabled wireless devices such as Palm, Pocket PC, RIM and WAP-enabled phones. ASG-MobileControl Administrator provides fully secured access to the enterprise network using industry-standard security solutions, and it is compatible with all wireless networks. Recently, ASG-MobileControl Administrator was among the first wireless network management applications to be verified for Windows Server 2003.
