Only reason I can think of is that OMA comes with Exchange out of the box - 'free' if you like.<br />
But OMA is a very basic ONLINE text based system (designed for basic WAP-based browsers), has no synchronisation or offline capability - - I can think of more reasons to buy BES than to use OMA... so based on these things, I think you'll find it a very, very, very, hard sell.<br />
I presume you've tried OMA yourself? &nbsp;Try it from a mobile phone and see what you think!<br />
<br />
Best of luck!

I think I asked the wrong question. I want to use Active Sync not OMA.

We currently have a BES 4.1 with 100 users. I would like to try using OMA with a Treo 700wx.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to sell this to the CIO of my company so we can try using OMA instead of RIM. Please give me some reason why we should be using OMA instead of RIM.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
