Novell® ZENworks® for Handhelds provides simplified, hands-off management of enterprise handheld devices.
Before you can manage handheld devices in your organization, you need to import handheld objects into Novell eDirectoryTM.
The process of importing handheld objects into eDirectory involves creating the Handheld Service Package object, configuring the Handheld Import policy and associating it with the container where you want the handheld objects imported to, and having your users synchronize their handheld devices using their normal synchronization process (Microsoft ActiveSync, Palm HotSync, and so forth). Users can also synchronize their Palm OS and Windows CE devices using the ZENworks for Handhelds IP client. BlackBerry devices use the BlackBerry wireless platform to synchronize.
After the handheld objects are imported into the directory, you can begin using policy-based management, distributing software applications to individual handheld devices or to groups of handheld devices, collecting hardware and software inventory for all enterprise handheld devices, and more.
