Forbes.com article includes CompanionLink in Top 9 Apps for Salespeople

This is a big day for CompanionLink.  Gene Marks, contributor for Forbes.com, mentioned CompanionLink in the same article as some heavyweights such Amazon, Evernote, and Square.  The article is about Gene’s top 9 apps that he recommends salespeople must have on their smartphones.

This is not a new company or two dudes working out of a garage.  My clients and I have used CompanionLink’s products for a decade.  I also like the fact that they’re not in bed with any one software maker – they make synching products for them all.

CompanionLink has always felt there is strong value in offer mobile business professionals a reliable and platform-agnostic way to integrate their phones with their business contacts, agenda, and notes.  Our mantra has always been “Your data, your device.”  We’re proud to support the entire spectrum of major mobile platforms and let you choose which device to use and how you wish you keep your data integrated. We do it with integrity and without farming or selling your data to advertisers because we feel that’s what business professionals really want.

Today’s mention by Gene was a testimonial for our mission.  Thank you, Gene.

Forbes and NY Times Recommend CompanionLink’s BlackBerry Sync with Outlook 2010

Not so long ago, RIM updated their Desktop Software package to support Microsoft Outlook 2010. However, they only offered support for the 32-bit edition of Outlook 2010, not the 64-bit edition. CompanionLink announced compatibility with both the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Microsoft Outlook 2010 with BlackBerry and other mobile devices. Recently, popular publications Forbes and the New York Times reviewed CompanionLink’s sync solution for BlackBerry with Outlook 2010.

In the New York Times Personal Tech Q&A section, columnist J. D. Biersdorfer mentions that official support documents from BlackBerry indicate that BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 is not compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2010 64-bit. Biersdorfer suggests CompanionLink as a solution for synchronizing with BlackBerry devices.

A post on the Forbes Investor blog by writer Marc Gerstein highlights his frustrating experience spending hours trying to sync his BlackBerry Tour with Outlook 2010. Gerstein points out that his frustrations are shared with many BlackBerry owners facing similar sync problems. Gerstein then turned to CompanionLink to solve his BlackBerry to Outlook 2010 sync issues. CompanionLink was able to sync Gerstein’s data within a few minutes.

Which phone should I buy?

At CompanionLink, we get this question at least a dozen times a day.  At least.

Since CompanionLink supports all the major smart phones, our advice is to get the phone that works for you.  Our software will work with it.  If you still need help determining which one is right for you, here’s a 2009 smart phone report by Consumer Reports ranking the best phones.  Apple iPhone, Palm Pre, and BlackBerry all topped the list.

New phone: BlackBerry Tour

BlackBerry Tour

RIM announced a new BlackBerry to join the ranks.  It’s called the BlackBerry Tour 9630 and will run in both CDMA and GSM modes.  This gives business professionals who travel internationally the peace of mind that their phone will work in most countries.

The BlackBerry Tour builds on the success of the BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Bold.
