Walking away with third place in the Mobile Management category is Orative Enterprise Software. This product proved itself worthy of that honor thanks to is ability to improve the compatibility of voice and data on mobile phones.

And just how does it do that? With Orative Enterprise Software, the many functions we have been promised from mobile operators are closer to reality. Users can quickly coordinate and manage multiple conversations, access enterprise phone directories and screen incoming, and often unwanted, calls.

To make matters even better, Orative Enterprise Software employs straightforward, uncomplicated user interfaces so that everyone from the office gadget junkie to the receptionist to the CEO will be able to manage it.

On the flip side, while Orative Enterprise Software takes us one step closer to transforming mobile phones into the all-in-one devices we always hoped they could be, much work remains to be done. Our judges gave the Orative Enterprise Software only mediocre marks when it comes to functionality and ease of integration.
