Sybase kicked off its annual TechWave User Training and Solutions Conference in San Diego, California, last week with a series of new product releases that underscore the significant progress the company has made across its business units.
Sybase has continued to make strong technical advances in mobile and vertical commerce - referred to as m-business and v- business respectively - and reinforce its reputation as an innovator in the enterprise software market.
"These advances demonstrate that Sybase has gained momentum against a broad array of software competitors and continues to solidify its status as a top-tier e-business infrastructure provider," says Julie Tomlinson, Sybase SA marketing manager, who attended the conference.
The launch of new products and solutions, partnerships, customer wins, awards, development tools and developer communities - announced to more than 2 500 customers, partners and developers from around the world - highlighted the company's commitment to delivering the right products and solutions to key markets.
"Sybase's e-business, m-business and v- business offerings deliver on the promise of the Internet by meeting the specific needs of individual markets and also allowing any time, anywhere transactions," adds Tomlinson.

* Nearly 300 technical sessions.

"At its centre, TechWave provides business leaders with a forum to learn to leverage Sybase's new and emerging technologies to improve their bottom line."
