SoonR announced that it has closed a strategic $9.5 million Series B investment led by Cisco, intended to help the company expand its mobile platform and advance its new partner-driven distribution strategy

SoonR’s platform brings the computer desktop and mobile worlds together. Through SoonR, users can easily access, back up and share files on their desktop computer while on the go, right from their mobile phone or Internet-enabled device — and even when the computer is turned off. Documents created in a number of applications, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, appear just as they would on a computer screen and Outlook calendars and email are easily accessed. Data on the user’s computer is continuously backed up, allowing it to easily be restored should the computer be lost or stolen.

SoonR’s platform is designed to provide mobile professionals with integrated and comprehensive mobile services that are so useful and intuitive that they become part of the daily work lives of users. SoonR’s partner-driven distribution strategy offers major carriers worldwide a branded, customizable and premium service with a compelling revenue model.
