Originally developed in 2000, @Box was one of the first corporate e-mail systems accessible via cell phone on the i-mode network. After several years of use by more than seventy-five thousand mobile subscribers in Japan, @Box has been uniquely fine-tuned to meet the needs of both wireless users and their wired counterparts. Today it is used by companies such as NTT DoCoMo, Sharp, and Kyocera. @Box provides real-time mobile access to e-mail, a feature that spares the user from having to synchronize or re-process mail back at the office. Its unique forwarding functions allow users to have their e-mail follow them whenever they choose, wherever they are. "New technologies must help companies retain a competitive advantage without adding complexity or costs to their operations" stated Dr. Raul Mendez, CEO of International Systems Research. "@Box gives companies the opportunity to deploy next-generation e-mail solutions without making a large investment," he added. The U.S. edition of @Box supports English and Japanese language, and may be accessed using WAP or Microsoft Pocket PC devices on GPRS and CDMA2000 networks globally, as well as on any of Japan's cellular networks.
