Sybase, a leader in developing and expanding innovative database technology, brings us iAnywhere. This allows us to have what Microsoft Exchange will be bringing us later this year; in June, but, without the long wait. Although, iAnywhere isn’t available just yet - don’t expect to wait a few months, but instead, only a couple weeks.

Here are the key features of iAnywhere:

Security: Information Anywhere provides iPhone support without requiring changes to an enterprise’s messaging infrastructure. The outbound connection model adds an additional layer of security. Enterprises no longer need to open inbound communication ports to the messaging infrastructure; all mobile device connections end within the enterprise DMZ. Information Anywhere adds specific features to equip IT with the ability to eliminate security risks with iPhone devices, such as restricting attachments, preventing user access and removing email data from a device. All of these features reduce potential security concerns with iPhone use in the enterprise.
Offline Email Access: Information Anywhere supports the native iPhone client, which provides a feature-rich and faster user experience than found with browser-based email support. In addition, email is available for offline use.
Contact Data Access: Information Anywhere provides secure access to contact data, including corporate directory and personal contacts.
Multi-device Support: Information Anywhere addresses the demand corporations face to support a variety of mobile devices. Sybase iAnywhere now supports the iPhone, in addition to more than 250 Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm-based devices.
Broad Enterprise Email Support: Information Anywhere supports both Lotus Domino R6/7/8 and Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003/2007.
