Microsoft has licensed AgreeYa Mobility to use its protocols for communication between mobile devices and Microsoft enterprise systems.
The company plans to develop apps for iOS, Android and other non-Microsoft mobile platforms that communicate with Microsoft's enterprise applications and cloud services, specifically Remote Desktop Services, Windows Azure, Active Directory and SharePoint.
