Intellisync's flagship product, the Intellisync Mobile Suite, is a suite of software designed for corporations and wireless carriers. The intent is to provide database synchronization with the company's DataSync product; Email and PIM synchronization with Email Accelerator, and Device Management and File Distribution with Systems Management/File Sync. These products support synchronization with a corporation's Microsoft Exchange Server, Domino mail servers or Novell GroupWise, as well as POP and IMAP mail support.The company originally only provided software for Windows-based computers, Palm Devices, Handheld PCs, and Pocket PCs, but has recently expanded into supporting Symbian, BREW, and other mobile devices. While the company originally marketed its product to large businesses (such as Boeing, Nintendo and the United States Military), it recently began rebranding its product to be distributed by wireless carriers as a revenue enhancing service to individual consumers. Wireless providers that have partnered with Intellisync include Verizon and Eurotel.
