Sybase, Siemens Partner on Workforce Mobility Solution

Sybase, a Dublin, Calif.-based enterprise and mobile software provider, and Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) Group, a Munich, Germany-based unified communications solutions vendor, have announced a partnership under which the two companies will offer an integrated mobile and fixed line voice and data solution that supports and includes the management of a range of device types through a heterogeneous environment, according to a press release.

"We're seeing an increasing demand for an unwired enterprise that gives mobile knowledge workers complete access to their data and communications regardless of location," Marcus Birkl, vice president of mobility solutions for SEN Group, said in the release.

The joint solution will combine Sybase's mobile device management capabilities with SEN Group's Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) technology to offer customers an end-to-end enterprise mobility management capability.

"Enterprise mobility plays such a significant role in today's personal and professional environments that customers require the highest level of support from proven experts," Terry Stepien, president of Sybase iAnywhere, said in the press release. "As a result of this widespread adoption and to fully empower today's information workers, Sybase and Siemens are committed to helping enterprises overcome the management challenges that accompany rapidly emerging mobile technologies, including collaboration and unified communications, while decreasing operational costs."
