Isolate and Secure Enterprise Data on the iPhone

Sybase has announced a new version of iAnywhere Mobile Office now available in the App Store with expanded iPhone support. Sybase claims to offer enhanced security and usability through iAnywhere Mobile Office, which encrypts all data contained within the email and PIM application without compromising the user’s personal information.

According to Sybase, the latest version of the application is intended to strengthen iPhone adoption within enterprises. The leader in delivering enterprise and mobile software aims to achieve this goal by providing Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange email and PIM data to iPhone users.

“Today’s wireless consumers have grown accustomed to feature-rich functionality and extensive access to personal data, which is carrying over to the enterprise. The recent iPhone OS 3.0 release supports this transformation,” said Dr. Raj Nathan, Chief Marketing Officer, Sybase. “As the demand for wireless device usage and access to corporate data in the enterprise continues to grow, only solution providers with extensive mobility expertise and a single, comprehensive mobile platform such as Sybase will be in a position to fulfill requirements of the next generation workforce.”

iAnywhere Mobile Office now offers an enterprise solution supporting email, calendar, tasks and contacts with corporate directory lookup right on the iPhone. Several key security features have also been added to manage and IT-administer iPhones within the enterprise, Sybase claims. Those include:

• Application password protection
• On-device encryption for all enterprise data contained within the iAnywhere Mobile Office application on an iPhone, leaving user’s personal data and applications untouched
• On-demand remote data wipe to remove all enterprise data within the application in the case of a device being lost or stolen.

Supporting both IBM Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange, the new version of iAnywhere Mobile Office is now available starting as a free 30-day trial version at www.sybase.com/iphone. The iPhone client can be obtained via the App Store as a free download, too. However, the client requires use of iAnywhere Mobile Office server and a client access license to connect with email systems.

Sybase also has a video demo of the fresh iPhone features here, and has scheduled a webcast (March 26) to go deeper into the features of iAnywhere Mobile Office and the newly added support for iPhone users.
