They have under their control the most comprehensive remote access solution in the market today that can be deployed throughout their organization much quicker, easier, and more economical than traditional remote access products.

DoMobile Corporate Edition offers Japanese businesses the most comprehensive remote access product on the market today. The Japanese have embraced the Internet much quicker than North Americans and they are well known for their attention to detail and quality. DoMobile Corporate Edition was designed with this in mind – easy access over the Internet from a wide range of devices as well as ensuring it passed the rigid quality assurance benchmarks required for the Japanese market.
