The mobile enterprise server market addresses the deployment of corporate applications on palmtop, wireless and mobile devices over the Intranet or Internet. Eba Systems is the first software and services company committed to delivering and managing the online workflow between heterogeneous applications for mobile platforms. "Eba has created a distinctive approach to mobile computing that we've not seen in the marketplace," remarked Davidson. "Eba's design for online mobile workflow, support for wireless communications, as well as cross-application capability uniquely positions company to help organizations deploy sales force, customer service and other applications to small cost-effective devices". "A new category of software application is required that allows mobile computing users to access multiple corporate applications without rewriting front-ends, just as webservers empowered PC's to access heterogeneous data sources," said Tim Jones, Eba Systems President.

According to the Red Herring, two of the most important trends for the post-PC world include support for ubiquitous palmtop devices and wireless applications, both of which the Company addresses with its solutions.
