Anytime, Anywhere DUBLIN, Calif., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Sybase, Inc. , a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and
mobile software, today announced its Unwired Enterprise initiative,
focused on solutions to help organizations effectively manage and
mobilize data, and give people access to business-critical
information anytime, anywhere. Sybase's market dominance in mobile
database and middleware and its expertise in data management and
integration technology is empowering organizations today to achieve
the potential of the Unwired Enterprise. Sybase and Intel are
driving Unwired Enterprise education through developer training
programs nationwide. "Business models are literally being
transformed by the ability to get vital data to the mobile
workforce, enabling organizations to capitalize on new
opportunities real-time," said Marty Beard, senior vice president
of Corporate Development and Marketing, Sybase. "Sybase understands
this market transformation and is uniquely positioned to provide
the critical elements of the Unwired Enterprise today -- managing
valuable data and making it easily accessible." Sybase Unwired
Enterprise customers and partners alike realize the value of having
real-time access to business-critical information, and the ability
to deliver it to individuals at the right time and place. Leading
customers, including Britannia Airway, Lyondell-CITGO Refining,
Nielsen Media Research and Taisei Corporation, highlight how
Sybase's enterprise and mobile infrastructure, integration and
application software solutions make organizations more efficient,
more productive and able to capitalize on opportunities faster and
with greater impact. Partners such as Intel provide joint
opportunities to demonstrate the power of mobile enterprise
solutions. "We share a common vision with Sybase that workers can
be equally productive in the office or on the road," said Anand
Chandrasekher, vice president and co-general manager of Intel's
Mobile Platforms Group. "Combined with Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile
technology's outstanding performance and enabling of wireless
connectivity with long battery life in sleek mobile PCs, Sybase
Unwired Enterprise solutions focus on making information access
faster and more convenient, significant factors in fueling the
adoption of mobile enterprise solutions." "A real-time enterprise
unlocks, shares and leverages information throughout an
organization to compete more effectively by taking time out of
critical business processes," said David Flint, Research Director,
Gartner Research. "Enterprise architecture that includes mobility
is essential to the real-time enterprise." Delivering Information
Anytime, Anywhere LogicaCMG leveraged Sybase technology to create a
flexible mobile employee information system for Britannia Airways'
cabin crews and pilots. The application provides more than 2,300
airline employees with access to crew rosters, passenger
information, air traffic control notices, safety notices, updated
destination details and duty free sales information using a Wi-Fi
network in the airport crew rooms prior to take-off. As a result of
this deployment, Britannia Airways has saved 500,000 pounds
Sterling per year by automating paper-based workflow processes.
Sybase partner SAT Corporation developed a mobile workflow
management application for Lyondell-CITGO Refining, which is a
joint venture between Lyondell Chemical and CITGO Petroleum and is
one of the largest refiners of heavy crude oil in the United
States. Leveraging Sybase technology, SAT's IntelaTrac software
enables field operators using an RFID asset identification system
integrated in a handheld computer running on a wireless LAN to
improve key performance indicators. As a result of this mobile
solution, Lyondell- Citgo Refining has reduced the cost of
maintenance work orders by 30 percent and cut the time between
equipment failures by more than half in several of the process
units where the system is deployed. Making Information Valuable and
Accessible Real-Time Nielsen Media Research uses Sybase Unwired
Enterprise technology to unlock the value of data, analyzing and
providing information about television viewing trends for the
television media industry. Sybase helps Nielsen Media Research
subscribers to determine which television programs provide the most
valuable advertising opportunities through analysis of data stored
on a multi- terabyte database. Thanks to the extreme efficiency of
Sybase's data management solutions, Nielsen is also able to achieve
significant savings on disk storage costs for such a large
database. Taisei Corporation, one of Japan's leading construction
firms, uses Sybase technology to integrate information for their
company-wide business portal, securely linking the company's
accounting, finance, sales, and electronic procurement operations;
work-site computer systems; document generation systems; workflow;
and Web-based groupware. This high-traffic portal, supporting over
20,000 users, makes the information from multiple business units
readily available to any authorized user, helping to reduce
operations and administrative costs. Managing valuable information
and making it easily accessible is how Sybase enables the Unwired
Enterprise. For more information about Sybase Unwired Enterprise
