AUSTIN, June 26, 2006 — Pragma Systems, a leading provider of enterprise-class remote access and security software for Microsoft Windows, becomes a member of Symbol Technologies' PartnerSelect Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Program. Pragma developed PocketVT, an SSH client connectivity solution for Pocket PC/Windows Mobile, between Symbol mobile computers and business servers. The Symbol PartnerSelect ISV Partner Program enables qualified software developers for enterprise mobility to leverage technical, sales and marketing programs of Symbol.
Pragma's PocketVT is a comprehensive, high-performance industrial offering. It provides support for both SSH1 and SSH2 protocols, advanced encryptions AES, 3DES and Blowfish, and multi-level data compression. Industrial and individual users now have a commercially available secured, encrypted solution for remotely connecting to servers with their handheld devices. Pragma's PocketVT includes both the new SSH protocol and the widely used Telnet protocol. Secure Shell (SSH) is the industry standard protocol for secure remote access to replace Telnet.
"Pragma Systems delivers solutions that help solve customers' business problems, and drive mobility in the enterprise," said Michelle Crissey, vice president of U.S. and Americas International channels at Symbol Technologies. "ISV partners such as Pragma Systems expand Symbol's channel ecosystem by adding the expertise needed to deliver complete enterprise mobility solutions to industries, including financial and banking, education, manufacturing and retail."
Pragma is a leader in the Secure Shell (SSH) market for Windows servers and clients. Many of its customers have been asking for the Pocket PC/Win CE version of the SSH client to use in place of the existing Telnet solution. With PocketVT, customers can now deploy their supply chain, distribution, order processing and warehouse management solution over the secure SSH protocol, greatly enhancing enterprise security. "Pragma's solution includes both SSH and Telnet," says Andrew Tull, VP of Sales and Marketing at Pragma Systems. "This allows our customers a gradual migration path to switch over from Telnet to the more secure SSH."
