Editor's Pick for September, 2006: EasyReach

MobileVillage, Sept. 15, 2006 -- EasyReach, based in California's Silicon Valley, offers a unique remote desktop search service that enables users to instantly find any file or e-mail on their work or home PCs using a BlackBerry, Treo or Internet browser.

The service, also called EasyReach, proved to be a hit when it debuted a year ago at DEMOfall 2005. It works on any computer or mobile device, and provides workers with secure access to multiple desktops, allowing them to find information wherever it is located.

Devices such as the BlackBerryand the Palm Treo function well for staying current with new e-mail and calendar items. However, their limited storage capacity and closed file systems often force users to continue lugging laptops, configured with costly VPN access, just in case a situation arises where information is unavailable.

EasyReach setup takes only a few minutes and consists of installing software on the desktop and configuring security options on the Web site. BlackBerry users also install a native application on their device.

EasyReach includes keyword search capabilities that make it easy to find the right document by simply typing a word or phrase. Once found, the information can be delivered to any e-mail address. Unlike traditional desktop search and remote access applications, EasyReach is a solution designed to perform at its best on mobile devices.

EasyReach pricing varies depending on the number of desktops. It starts at US $80 per year or $8 per month for unlimited access to one PC and $100 per year or $10 per month for two PCs.

EasyReach is led by industry veteran John W. Stossel. Prior to founding EasyReach, Stossel held senior executive level positions at Intellisync, where he contributed to the company's market cap increase from $10M to over $400M. Prior to Intellisync's acquisition of Dry Creek Software, Stossel was CEO and Founder of that company, which created an XML-based solution for synchronizing web based content to Outlook, Lotus Notes, and other popular handheld organizers. Stossel was also CEO and Founder of Real World Solutions, an enterprise mobile server vendor that was acquired by Puma Technology.
