• Server-Based Solutions Behind The Firewall: These installations require the enterprise to add wireless e-mail server software, possibly add a special desktop client, and definitely add a wireless e-mail client. It departments maintain full control of the implementation, and of course have to bear the burden of maintenance.
• Network-Based Solutions: This is an outsourced version that involves the enterprise obtainin wireless e-mail services from a third party vendor.
