Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), an industry leader in delivering
enterprise and mobile software, and Verizon, a leader in delivering
and managing communications innovations for enterprise customers,
today announced they are teaming up to enable multinational
companies to effectively manage the deployment and ongoing support
of their growing mobile workforce. Verizon’s new offering, Managed
Mobility Solutions, utilizes Sybase’s proven mobility services
expertise and best-in-class enterprise device management platform
to help global businesses manage the complexities surrounding the
increasing number of mobile information workers.
“As enterprises today strive to incorporate mobility to stay
competitive, increase productivity and meet employee demand, they
are seeing significant manageability issues across the entire
organization,” said Nancy Gofus, senior vice president – global
business products, Verizon. “Managing multiple fixed and mobile
operator contracts and communication costs, selecting mobile
devices, network interoperability and device management and
security are unwieldy for most enterprises. Sybase is a proven
leader in device management software and together we are well
placed to minimize the pain points for customers through our new
highly accessible, comprehensive managed mobility service.”
Business requires that organizations connect partners,
suppliers, manufacturers, remote offices and remote employees
directly to their systems, applications and information so they can
improve customer service, bring products or services to market
quicker, make better decisions and increase their organizations’
overall productivity.
According to leading independent research company Forrester
Research, Inc., 73 percent of the global enterprise workforces will
be mobile users by 2012. This represents 187.9 million mobile users
in 2008, growing to 397.1 million users in 2012 (Enterprise Mobile
User Forecast: Mobile "Wannabes" Are The Fastest-Growing Segment,
October 2008).i
“Managed mobility services are an increasingly critical offering
in the enterprise mobility space,” said Stephen Drake, program vice
president for Mobility & Telecom research, IDC. “Incorporating
best of breed mobile device management and security components
provide a key value to enterprises seeking to manage and control
their mobile deployments.”
Verizon Managed Mobility Solutions is highly flexible and
user-friendly and offers an integrated solution in key areas
including: inventory and expense management, logistics, mobile
device management and security, and application management. Sybase
was selected to support the mobile device management and security
modules of the new Verizon managed service:
- Mobile Device Management
for delivering tools, applications and data to employees in a
timely manner, and creating and enforcing flexible mobile policies
across devices, groups or individual users
- Mobile Security that
enforces access codes, establishes “lock/wipe” policies, encrypts
devices and data cards, delivers firewall and antivirus
applications, and supports mobile access to corporate
applications
“As we continue to extend our enterprise mobility leadership, we
are extremely pleased to team up with a leading managed service
provider in Verizon,” said Terry Stepien, president, Sybase
iAnywhere. “Enterprise mobility has moved beyond line of business
applications to include a much wider group of wireless consumers or
information workers. Both Sybase and Verizon recognize this rapid
change and are in the unique position to provide an easy-to-consume
service that reduces the complexities of today’s ‘on-the-go’
enterprise.”
Four of the Verizon Managed Mobility Solutions modules are
targeted for a September 30 launch in the U.S. and 19 countries in
Europe with a roll-out in the Asia-Pacific region slated for later
this year. The fifth module, Application Management, is currently
under development and is planned for launch in 2010. Verizon
Managed Mobility Services will be available through Verizon
Business and Verizon Wireless.
