Award for mobile security innovation gets even more people talking about Sybase
"This award is testimony to Sybase's capabilities and success in bringing visionary and innovative products to its customers and equipping them with the critical solutions they need to respond to the rapidly changing business environment."
(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 23, 2008 ) HONG KONG – Digital Daily, Korea's leading online IT news site, has named Afaria, the leading mobile device management and security solution from Sybase iAnywhere, as one of the ‘IT Innovation Products of the 1st Half of 2008’.
Korean customers who have adopted Afaria® product include, KT&G, Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors. KT&G adopted Afaria® product to enhance system reliability for around 2,000 PDA users in 168 branches nationwide.
As a result, the company has minimised the potential of system problems occurring, increasing user satisfaction and trust.
Afaria helps organisations of all sizes to ensure that mobile data, and the devices on which it is stored, are up-to-date, reliable and secure. It was developed in response to demand from organisations for a better way to manage the rapidly growing numbers of handheld Internet-connected devices such as smartphones and PDAs now being used as efficiency tools for staff members, who frequently work in service and support roles outside the office.
"This award is testimony to Sybase's capabilities and success in bringing visionary and innovative products to its customers and equipping them with the critical solutions they need to respond to the rapidly changing business environment," said Ki-Rock Park, for Digital Daily in Seoul, Korea.
An enterprise-grade, highly scalable solution, Afaria is equiped with a central Web-based console that provides MIS departments with control over a host of key functions via a standard browser. With Afaria's ability to tie into enterprise directories, these functions provide everything necessary to extend an organisation's management and security capabilities to any device in any location.
Afaria provides comprehensive management and security capabilities enabling IT organisations to reduce security issues involving remote mobile devices and provides intuitive easy-to-use interface. It offers a wide variety of mobile device management system capabilities including intelligent file update and compression optimization. Businesses can cut down on operational costs of mobile environment and simplify mobile-business solution implementation and support processes.
“With the rapid increase in penetration of mobile devices, keeping them up-to-date and secure has become a critical issue for enterprises”, said Barrie Sheers, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, Sybase, Inc. “Mobile devices today have more processing power than computers of ten years ago and they are spreading rapidly outside the office environment with very limited control. We are excited to receive recognition for our technological innovation in this area. As the demand for mobile devices continues to grow, Sybase will continue to enhance its product portfolio to strengthen our support to our customers“.
According to the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, Gartner Inc, mobile device sales in Asia Pacific are expected to grow at 17.8% to reach 472.5 million in 2008 and are forecast to reach 828.7 million by 2012.
