program helps organizations to overcome the challenges of going
wireless and get a jump start on the competition
ORLANDO, FL ¾ Go Mobile Conference ¾
April 23, 2001 ¾ iAnywhere Solutions,
Inc., a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYBS), today announced its
new Jump Start for Wireless program, designed to speed wireless
enterprise application development. Addressing the complexity of
development in the ever-changing wireless environment, the Jump
Start for Wireless Program features packages and services to
facilitate early enterprise application design through simplified
access to proven technology and experienced technical resources.
As a part of the Jump Start for Wireless Program, iAnywhere
Solutions unveiled the Jump Start for Wireless Developer Package to
provide companies with a simple, low cost entry point to overcome
technical barriers such as integrating disparate networks, devices,
and operating systems, addressing rigorous security and scalability
issues, and ensuring seamless enterprise integration. For as little as
$10,000, developers can create prototypes to better visualize the
productivity and benefits a wireless solution can provide to their
enterprise. The Developer Package includes:
- A full day, on-site, interactive strategy session with an
iAnywhere Solutions wireless consultant aimed at taking the first
steps toward defining and delivering the optimal wireless
application;
- A development copy of iAnywhere™ Wireless Studio, which
includes a scaleable and reliable wireless application server for
always available access to e-Business applications, enterprise
data and Internet content through mobile and wireless devices;
- Access to the iAnywhere Solutions Wireless Gateway Service for
three months, providing connectivity to a wide variety of wireless
networks including CDPD, CDMA, GSM, GPRS, Mobitex, and DataTac;
and
- Technical support, providing ongoing access to wireless experts.
In addition to the Developer Package, customers can work with the
iAnywhere Solutions wireless services team to develop a broader,
customized program to support the design, development and deployment
of wireless solutions. These personalized Jump Start services cover
such areas as education on the wireless landscape, needs analysis,
wireless strategy planning, design of a wireless architecture, and
creation of a blueprint for successfully delivering a wireless
solution.
"For the next two to three years, application development for
mobile devices will be a specialty, requiring distinctly different
skills and requiring a good deal of training for traditional
developers to become productive," said Jack Gold, vice president
of META Group. "Many enterprises will choose to deploy
applications through vendor-developed quick start programs, which will
offer companies the ability to utilize existing resources without big
investments in retraining or competing for scarce wireless developers,
while accelerating time to deployment."
"iAnywhere Solutions is the one-stop source for m-Business
solutions, offering customers a comprehensive solution to go from
concept to reality in deploying new wireless applications. The Jump
Start for Wireless Program lowers the barriers that our customers face
when building or extending existing enterprise applications to
wireless devices – freeing them to focus on core business
issues," said Robert Veitch, director of business development,
iAnywhere Solutions.
iAnywhere Solutions also provides a range of additional offerings
as a part of its Jump Start for Wireless Program. For more information
