Sybase iAnywhere Launches OneBridge 5.5
October 31, 2006 -- Sybase iAnywhere today announced the release of OneBridge(r) 5.5, which extends enterprise email and applications to mobile workers. Version 5.5 provides new interoperability with the company's Afaria(r) 5.5 (announced in a separate release today), supports more than 130 mobile devices, simplifies the evaluation process for businesses, and provides administrators and users with enhanced security, management and email capabilities.
OneBridge 5.5 is a core component of the recently announced Information Anywhere(r) Suite, a platform which addresses converging enterprise requirements for mobile email, security, device management and application enablement.
"Interoperability between OneBridge 5.5 and Afaria 5.5 enables us to deliver the most secure, end-to-end email messaging solution on the market today," explained Joe Owen, vice president of engineering at iAnywhere. "Now OneBridge is more secure than ever, with the ability to take advantage of Afaria features such as device-side and server-side security in addition to on-the-fly encryption and decryption. Additionally, these technology advances form the core of our Information Anywhere Suite, allowing organizations to better integrate, extend and leverage investments in their existing IT infrastructure when developing a mobile strategy."
Version 5.5 delivers a host of new features that will excite IT administrators and end-users alike. Enterprises looking to evaluate OneBridge will find it easier to evaluate, with features that make it simple to install and test-drive. Users will appreciate enhanced usability such as live access to corporate email and phone directories, greater usability inconjunction with strong device security features, and compatibility with the latest mobile devices.
