Interface Software Partners With Onset Technology to Provide Wireless Access to InterAction via METAmessage for BlackBerry

Mobile Professionals Now Have Anytime, Anywhere Access to InterAction's Strategic Relationship Intelligence

LegalTech -- Interface Software, a recently acquired subsidiary of LexisNexis, and Onset Technology, a leading developer of enterprise access software for wireless handheld devices, announced today a partnership to provide integration between InterAction®, Interface Software's market-leading CRM solution for professional services organizations, and METAmessage®, Onset Technology's unique software solution that gives business users access to virtually any data on their enterprise network using wireless devices such as the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld(TM) from Research In Motion (RIM) . With this integration, users can easily access and update InterAction Relationship Intelligence in real time directly from their BlackBerry handhelds.

Increasingly, financial professionals, lawyers, consultants and other professionals are relying upon BlackBerry to communicate with, and access data about, their clients and prospects. With so much critical client Relationship Intelligence residing in InterAction, increasingly firms are demanding remote, wireless access to their central CRM repository.

For instance, after a series of strategic meetings pertaining to an acquisition, an investment banker on the road may want to immediately add meeting notes to InterAction as an activity while his thoughts are still fresh, allowing other members of the deal team instant access to the updated information. A lawyer traveling on business may wish to pay a visit to a new prospective client, but she does not have the prospect's contact information synched to her BlackBerry handheld. Or, a consultant wishing to introduce himself to an influential colleague attending the same business conference might wish to query InterAction on the spot to determine if anyone in his firm has a relationship with this colleague.

"Interface Software has achieved its leadership position by understanding the unique needs of professional services organizations and delivering tailored CRM solutions that work the way professionals work," said Barry Solomon, Interface Software's executive vice president. "By integrating InterAction with BlackBerry via Onset's industry-leading METAmessage solution, we are giving our professional users the mobility and flexibility they need to achieve their business goals wherever they may be."

"To do their jobs effectively, on-the-go professionals can no longer rely solely upon a wired network or Internet connection to access vital Relationship Intelligence," said Gadi Mazor, Onset's president and CEO. "We are delighted to be working with Interface Software to extend the reach of InterAction to Blackberry wireless users."
