Software Suite Provides Complete Data, Email, Security Management Solution

The freedom of mobile computing has moved workers out of their offices and into airports, remote offices, customer facilities, conference rooms, libraries and home offices. Industry analysts at IDC expect the number of worldwide mobile and remote workers to grow to 162 million this year. While the demand for mobile solutions is growing, they stress that the need for security is rising even more rapidly.

To meet the on-the-go requirements of organizations and individuals concerned about their mobile computing security, Migo Software has developed a new version of its Migo Mobile Computing Software enhanced with Outlook Express and Migo Secure. The Secure solution is a powerful password protection and encryption solution. The combination provides people with mobile data management, email management and security in a single, easy-to-use application.

Adding Outlook Express and Migo Secure to Migo software provides what the company calls “Mobility Simplified.” Now, users can have a complete software solution that synchronizes, secures, and enables the true portability of critical data and email, all in a single application.

With laptop computer robberies increasing, it's not only more convenient for users to store their sensitive data on a Migo-encrypted portable storage device, it’s safer. Because even if you must carry a laptop, you can carry a USB drive in your pocket and plug it into the laptop to view the data. Then if the laptop is stolen, the data will remain safe on the USB drive.

In addition, Migo has developed a Mobile Computing Strategy that incorporates the two primary methods used to alleviate the risk of data loss: avoidance and encryption.

The company itself uses laptops from a laptop pool to avoid problems --no data is stored on the laptop. If a laptop is lost or stolen, there is no risk of compromising the data which is stored on the USB device. The encryption application included with Migo software complies with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), one of the latest government- and corporate-grade encryption standards. With 128-bit AES encryption and features to prevent brute force password cracking, the data that Migo has mobilized is both synchronized and secure.

With Migo’s encryption, users can protect the data on any storage device including iPods, MP3 players, cell phones, and SD cards. The software transforms any Windows-based PC into the user's familiar PC environment by carrying desktop icons, wallpaper and Internet settings from one PC to another.

Migo Mobile Computing Software also works seamlessly with the hardware encryption applications included with Migo-enabled portable storage devices such as the Kingston DataTraveler USB Flash Drive and Verbatim’s Store ‘n’ Go U3 Smart Drive. For added security, Migo-enabled storage devices can be completely password protected.

When a Migo-enabled storage device is removed from the host computer, all system settings, program files, and application data are removed so no personal or private information is left behind. The user can then transfer their updated files to their office system.

Businesses that adopt Migo’s Mobile Security Strategy can save thousands of dollars because they won’t have to buy and maintain as many notebook computers. The increased productivity that can be achieved when employees always have their important files and personalized PC environment with them on a USB device further lowers the company’s TCO. Added benefits include the freedom of not having to carry a laptop every time they leave the office and the convenience features that Migo Software-enabled USB devices provide.

Featuring patent-pending technology, Migo software is used by consumers and business professionals to make any PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP look and act like their home or office computer. When combined with a portable storage device, the software can be used to move everything from documents, presentations, spreadsheets, photos and videos to email, desktop icons, wallpaper and Internet settings from one PC to another.

By making their personal workspace portable, these users can increase their productivity while minimizing the need to carry their laptop everywhere they go. With the latest version of Migo Mobile Computing Software, users will not only benefit from the features that Microsoft Outlook offers they can take full advantage of the capabilities available with Outlook Express. And with Migo’s new security/password software, users will no longer have to rely on the remote PC's security protection.

Outlook Express support enables Migo users to send and receive emails, access attachments and edit their contact list from any Windows PC without having to install any software. They can enjoy the higher performance of the remote PC and never have to worry about whether it has Migo installed because everything they need to run and use Migo is on their portable storage device, including security/password software.

When the computing tasks are completed, Migo saves and secures all of the work that was done on the remote computer to the portable device. All traces of the user’s activity and sensitive information are removed from the remote computer, restoring it to its original state.

When users return to their home or office, Migo automatically synchronizes the updated files to their main computer, eliminating the need to e-mail new or modified documents back to the primary PC. The software can even be used to keep track of multiple document versions.

Available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean as well as traditional and simplified Chinese, trial versions of the software can be downloaded at www.migosoftware.com.
