Sybase and Verizon have said that they will team up to enable multinational companies to manage the deployment and ongoing support of their mobile workforce.
Verizon said that its new offering, Managed Mobility Solutions, utilises Sybase’s mobility services expertise and enterprise device management platform to help businesses manage the complexities of mobile information workers.
The company said that the new offering delivers an integrated service in areas including: inventory and expense management, logistics, mobile device management and security, and application management.
Reportedly, Sybase was selected to support the mobile device management and security modules of the new Verizon managed service. The mobile device management module delivers tools, applications and data to employees in a timely manner. In addition, the mobile security module enforces access codes, establishes ‘lock/wipe’ policies, encrypts devices and data cards, delivers firewall and antivirus applications, and supports mobile access to corporate applications.
Nancy Gofus, senior vice president of global business products at Verizon, said: “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 minimise the pain points for customers through our new highly accessible, comprehensive managed mobility service.”
