ExSafe for Box.net Launches on BlackBerry Smartphones

Dublin, Ireland - ExSafe, a member of the BlackBerry® Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Alliance Program, announces the launch of its new mobile application for Box.net, a leading cloud computing solution, that works on BlackBerry® smartphones. ExSafe for Box.net enables you to access, view and edit Microsoft® Word documents, Excel™ spreadsheets, PowerPoint™ presentations, and PDFs that are saved in the Box.net cloud from a BlackBerry smartphone.

An efficient mobile workforce is critical to any successful business and ExSafe for Box.net brings a whole new level of efficiency for accountants, lawyers, realtors, insurance brokers, restaurateurs, and other professionals. ExSafe for Box.net even assists with regulatory compliance thanks to the audit trail and version history features that are built into Box.net. All of this is available through a special introductory one off license cost of $9.99 for a single user account, valid until 31stth December 2009, on BlackBerry App World™.

CEO Tony Prylowski says “ExSafe leverages the higher screen resolutions and ability to edit Microsoft Office documents on newer BlackBerry smartphones to enable Box.net customers to have all their essential documents at their fingertips. But as well as having access to your own Box.net documents and folders, ExSafe connects you with shared Box.net collaboration folders. That means you can collaborate quickly and securely with your colleagues, without the need to email documents back and forth. I think we've all experienced the confusion that this causes!”

“Because of our OpenBox platform, Box.net's 3-million-plus users have the power to do more with their content using applications like ExSafe - in this case, while they are using their BlackBerry smartphone,” said Karen Appleton, vice president of business development at Box.net. “This integration is another example of how connecting cloud applications through our open platform gives Box.net users a breadth of functionality that rivals traditional server-based systems like Microsoft SharePoint.”

ExSafe for Box.net is extremely easy to install and use. The application for BlackBerry smartphones is available on BlackBerry App World - http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/4274 and can be used in conjunction with your existing Box.net user account. If you do not have a Box.net account you can signup at www.box.net.
