Security and management

Minimum system requirements

How it works

Designed for end users, built for IT
WICKSoft was designed to keep cost-of-ownership low by making deployment as easy as possible.  WICKSoft never requires you to make any changes to your existing infrastructure, and our integrated management tools mean virtually no maintenance is required.


Just because a
document or file might be safe to look at on the desktop doesn't mean that it's okay to look at on your BlackBerry while in the back of a taxi.  At the heart of WICKSoft lies a multi-tiered security model that works to keep your sensitive information safe. 

Using WICKSoft you can restrict who, what, and how your mobile users can remotely access and manage their data using our proprietary security and management technology.
 

WICKSoft operates as if the user were sitting at their desktop—this means all of your existing ACLs and security policies continue to take effect.  Users log in using their own credentials, giving the backend the final say in access requests.

WICKSoft automatically adjusts itself based on changes you make to Active Directory,  Novell eDirectory, Exchange, and SharePoint.  This means you can continue to manage your network using your existing methodologies and practices and WICKSoft automatically and instantly inherits the changes.

Minimum system requirements for the WICKSoft server are:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or higher, 32 and 64 bit architectures.   NOTE: WICKSoft will run on Microsoft Small Business Server.
  • ASP.NET
  • Microsoft .NET 1.1 or higher
  • For integrated management, WICKSoft supports Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, or can run in a standalone mode.

Minimum requirements for the BlackBerry client are:

  • BlackBerry OS 4.1 or higher (any BlackBerry with a color screen)
  • A data connection
  • Connectivity to the WICKSoft server (either through BIS, or through BES/MDS)


WICKSoft is comprised of two parts: a client running on the smartphone, and a server running within your organization.  Total installation time is typically less than one hour.

No changes are ever made to your existing infrastructure; your entire backend simply works 'as is' without any special customizations or modifications.

The WICKSoft client is a native BlackBerry application, and not a web browser.  It is self-contained, and does not require features such as PUSH or the BlackBerry attachment viewer.

WICKSoft server runs standalone, or cohabitates with BES, Exchange, SharePoint, and supports virtual environments.
