5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
iPhone support is one feature of a new release of Afaria, Afaria 6.5 due to be generally available in mid November. SQL Anywhere for the iPhone is presently in beta and is generally available. Support for mobile banking for the iPhone is now provided through the Sybase mBanking 365 platform. To back up its claims for the iPhone, Sybase quotes Jack Gold, president of technology analyst firm, J Gold Associates, saying "While Apple has made significant progress in making the latest version of iPhone enterprise-ready, there are still a number of challenges in provisioning, management, security and application enablement. To achieve true enterprise-class capability, companies should deploy a comprehensive, open, third-party mobility platform capable of filling these gaps. Solutions like Sybase's mobility platform not only support companies looking to proactively deploy iPhones but also to respond to the rapidly growing population of information workers bringing personally-owned smartphones into the enterprise."
