Sybase South Africa, local representative for mobile software solutions company iAnywhere Solutions Inc, has launched the Jump Start for Wireless programme, designed to speed wireless enterprise application development. Consisting of a suite of software and services, the programme provides a development solution intended to reduce the complexity of wireless technology.
The flagship product is the 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.
Sybase SA will also provide 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.
"We can now provide a one-stop source for m-Business solutions, offering customers a comprehensive solution to go from concept to reality in deploying new wireless applications," says Sybase SA marketing manager Julie Tomlinson. "The Jump Start for Wireless programme lowers the barriers that our customers face when building or extending existing enterprise applications to wireless devices."
"For the next two to three years, application development for mobile devices will be a speciality, requiring distinctly different skills and 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 utilise existing resources without big investments in retraining or competing for scarce wireless developers, while accelerating time to deployment."
