Affordable and hassle-free, Mobile Edge Express allows users to trial and purchase the pre-written mobile application without upfront hardware costs, upgrades or licensing fees.

Moreover, the application is extremely friendly to “non techies” and does not require IT support. Users can simply download their application in three steps, and within 10 minutes. Self service installation/provisioning enables the real daily users of the application – such as sales representatives, executives or customer service representatives– to solve their most pressing mobile challenges by simply clicking, downloading and running Mobile Edge Express from the iEnterprises web site or from SugarExchange, the SugarCRM Online Marketplace.
“We’re thrilled to pair mobile CRM innovation with the sensibility of a SaaS delivery model,” said John Carini, CEO of iEnterprises. “The small and medium business market has been embracing the SaaS model in CRM for years, yet SMBs have been caught stranded, burdened, and underserved when it comes to getting access to their CRM wirelessly.
