Neomar is the only company delivering an end-to-end solution that directly targets the enterprise for management and secure delivery of corporate and customer data to wireless devices, while providing secure, timely access to information with a compelling user experience, said Erik Lassila, Clearstone managing director. This market focus, along with Neomars outstanding technology and management team, were key factors in our decision to invest in the company.

Neomars Enterprise Solution Suite includes server software for deployment behind the enterprise firewall (Neomar Enterprise Server), software for smart wireless devices (Neomar Microbrowser), and proxy software for wireless service providers (Neomars Secure Enterprise Router Proxy). The combined solution delivers data securely from origin applications and servers, through service provider and carrier networks, all the way to end-devices, without the service provider or carrier decrypting or otherwise altering sensitive information. Utilizing Certicoms advanced PKI security technology on the Neomar Microbrowser, the Enterprise Solution Suite enables users to access critical enterprise applications, such as corporate data, supply chain management, sales force automation, and customer relationship management, securely and remotely in real-time.

The support that Clearstone has already provided to Neomar has been extremely important to us. With this additional funding we can take the company to the next level, supporting a larger number of customers and building our next generation of products, said William R. Butch Winters, CEO of Neomar, Inc. Clearstones investment is a validation of our business strategy and the growing interest in wireless in the enterprise. It also reflects Clearstones confidence in our ability to execute.
