BackWeb competes in the mobility and mobile applications market and offers a solution allowing users of enterprise Web applications to synchronize those Web applications to their personal computers for use while disconnected from the network. Our enabling software is designed to integrate with Web applications in a loosely-coupled way that requires no changes in a company's enterprise Web architecture and applications. This approach has the potential to bring mobile functionality to enterprise Web applications quickly and with low total cost of ownership. Our products address the need of mobile users who spend important parts of their work time in situations in which fixed or wireless network connectivity is not practical. This includes mobile workers engaged in field sales, services, consulting and operational roles. Many of these people must frequently disconnect from and reconnect to the network but require consistent access to their important Web-based business applications. Examples of such critical business applications include sales tools, customer relationship management, or CRM, systems, service management systems, service document repositories, training and e-learning applications, human resources, or HR, applications, service repair guides, expense report updates, pricing data, time sheets, work orders, and other essential documents and information. Our products are designed to capitalize on the potential business and return on investment benefits of mobile applications, including improved productivity of mobile workforces, faster completion of company workflows and increased levels of sales and customer satisfaction. They are also designed to reduce the cost of distributing information to field personnel and to minimize the impact and costs on enterprise networks to support mobile users.
