Good Technology Lands $45 Million for Wireless Messaging

Good Technology, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, California, raised over $45 million in new funding for its standards-based wireless messaging and corporate data access products.



Good Technology's flagship offering, GoodLink, is a standards-based wireless messaging and corporate data access system that provides mobile field forces with a two-way wirelessly synchronized connection with the critical information contained in Microsoft Exchange Servers (enterprise email, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks) and CRM, ERP and SCM systems. The company recently announced that over 2,000 enterprises now use GoodLink to empower their mobile workforces. The system is FIPS certified and incorporates AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) end-to-end encryption to protect email, data, and attachments. The GoodLink system includes non-stop service, a real-time synchronizing server, and security and application software that supports the Good G100, RIM 950 and 957 handhelds, palmOne Treo 600, and Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC devices.



The new funding round was led by Crosslink Capital and included significant new investor BA Venture Partners and Good's existing backers -- including Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers and Benchmark Capital -- many of which invested in excess of their pro-rata allocations. http://www.good.com
