Offers enterprises a more 'seamless' transition to wireless application support for the hot-selling iPhone.

When Apple touts its new iPhone 3G as enterprise-ready, exhibit A is its deal with Microsoft to include support for the software giant's Exchange communications software. However, IT departments have other choices to bringing the iPhone into the corporate e-mail infrastructure. Sybase supports a range of devices with wireless e-mail access, management and security features through its iAnywhere suite that covers both Exchange and Lotus Notes. It already offered support to the first iPhone and today extended that to the iPhone 3G. "Our value proposition has always been that we provide a single infrastructure for management and security across multiple devices," Senthil Krishnapillai, Director of Product Management at Sybase iAnywhere, told InternetNews.com. For example, Apple doesn't offer support for Notes which has about 100 million mailboxes worldwide, mostly in larger enterprises." While Apple was more compelled to make a deal with Microsoft for Exchange, Sybase got on the iPhone bandwagon earlier with support for Exchange.
