AvantGo Adds PDA Links To Salesforce.com

Users will be able to access and update their information with or without wireless connections, the two companies said Tuesday. AvantGo has similar relationships with other CRM players including Onyx Software and UpShot.

San Francisco-based Salesforce.com, which offers its CRM service via an ASP model, unveiled its offline edition last August, but that is geared for laptop computers and supports a "briefcase" for data and applications that must be used while disconnected. (See story.)

CRM vendors of all sizes are adding mobile access capabilities to their offerings, realizing that most salespeople tend to be on the road, not at their desks.

The AvantGo subscription service is available now as a free 30-day trial for Pocket PC users. Support for the Palm OS is slated to ship by month's end. A yearly subscription will cost $299 from AvantGo, Hayward, Calif.
