Today Sybase and Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) Group (a leader in Unified Communications Solutions for the enterprise) announced a partnership that will provide customers with a fully integrated mobile and fixed line voice and data solution that supports and includes the management of a range of device types through a completely heterogeneous environment.
The new solution combines Sybase’s leading mobile device management capabilities with the SEN Group’s leading-edge Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) technology providing a complete end-to-end solution that businesses can deploy to vastly simplify the management of a hugely diversified communications infrastructure. The solution will also help businesses to effectively manage operations such as inventory and expenses, logistics, mobile devices and applications.
Afaria will be fully embedded into the SEN Group’s HiPath MobileConnect V2.3, an enterprise solution that seamlessly unifies fixed enterprise VoIP, VoWLAN and cellular mobility. The solution consists of two components:
- MobileConnect Appliance
- Located at the central site, sitting on the wired network between the WLAN and the SIP PBX
- Continually monitors and manages mobile user sessions regardless of whether they are on the corporate or public network
- MobileConnect Client
- Software that resides on the dual-mode handset and works with the MobileConnect Appliance to navigate enterprise-cellular exchange
“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,” said Terry Stepien, president of Sybase iAnywhere. “As part of this widespread adoption and to fully empower today’s information workers, Sybase and Siemens are committed to helping enterprises overcome the management challenges accompanying rapidly emerging mobile technologies, including collaboration and unified communications.”
