Motorola Introduces ES400 Enterprise Digital Assistant

The Enterprise Mobility Solutions (EMS) division of Motorola announces the newest addition to its mobile computing portfolio – the ES400 global Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA). The ES400’s integrated voice and data capabilities will unleash the full potential of mobile professionals by empowering them with the information and interaction they need to transform operations, increase enterprise profitability and complete their jobs anywhere, anytime, says Motorola, with enterprise managers and workers across multiple commercial enterprise markets benefiting from the ES400’s combination of powerful aspects of mobile computing with push-to-talk capabilities in a compact and lightweight design.

“Motorola recognizes that efficient and productive mobile workers are the lifeblood of an organization and empowering them with unmatched features and functionality to eliminate road blocks in the field is critical to an organization,” Paul Blinkhorn, vice president, Enterprise, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Asia Pacific. “The new ES400 EDA combines the best features of mobility, communications and task functionality without compromising performance or design – offering mobile workforces, including managers to remain hands-on in the field or in the office and juggling management responsibilities. The customizable user interface ensures a one touch access to important business information and applications so that high levels of productivity can be maintained even outside the four walls.”

The ES400 includes the Motorola Enterprise User Interface (MEUI), which provides users with a custom and customizable interface. MEUI features include: one-touch access to applications; a business-focused Home Screen; a single touch barcode scanner ideal for casual scanning usage; an enterprise-class camera application; and readily accessible Device Management Tabs to eliminate the need to drill down through multiple menus and screens to adjust settings.

“Microsoft has long recognized mobility as a critical element of the enterprise, and we are committed to building and supporting innovative platforms for this market, including the upcoming release of a new OS solution for recently announced Windows Embedded Handheld brand based on Windows Mobile 6.5 technologies,” said Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business Unit at Microsoft. “When front-line workers need secure access to information and quick interaction through their EDA, Motorola’s ES400 teams with Windows Embedded to enable the solution.”
