Windows Phone 7, the next version of Microsoft's smartphone platform, will support Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), including features to manage phones from Exchange Server and will let users connect and work with documents on SharePoint 2010 servers using mobile versions of Office applications. However, at launch it won't work with other Microsoft technologies, including System Center Configuration Manager, and corporate applications will have to be deployed through the Windows Phone Marketplace. IT departments should prepare to support Phone 7 as devices come into the enterprise but might not be able to standardize on them, especially if they rely on custom mobile applications.
