Chennai: Chennai-based California Software
Company Limited (Calsoft) has entered into a strategic
alliance with Texas based Softex Inc to offer TheftGuard
ME to the Indian mobile device marketplace. Theftguard
ME is a product that will enable mobile users to back
up their personal information. The application supports
many mobile devices including smart phones, feature phones
and PDAs. Theftguard can also completely disable the device
when lost or stolen.
Calsoft
and Softex plan to sell Theftguard directly to the device
manufacturers and service providers and jointly manage
the monthly service for the end consumer.
"TheftGuard
deploys the best technology for securing mobile devices.
Even if the SIM card is replaced or the phone is taken
out of the country, the device can be disabled remotely
and can later be enabled if retrieved and either way the
customer can retrieve the data with virtually no effect."
said S. Sam Santhosh, managing director and CEO, Calsoft.
"Considering
the soaring rate of mobile phone thefts worldwide resulting
in complete loss of critical or confidential data, it
is perfect timing for us to enter India, a large market
that is expanding at a phenomenal pace," added Apurva
Bhansali, CEO, Softex Inc.
