Sybase Mobile today announced the immediate availability of a lifeline for all existing Nokia Intellisync users through its Nokia Intellisync Migration Programme. The programme is aimed at supporting Nokia Intellisync partners and customers affected by Nokia's decision to cease the development and marketing of its behind-the-firewall business mobility solutions. Sybase Mobile is offering local Nokia Intellisync customers free copies of selected Information Anywhere Suite components, including mobile e-mail, device management, device security and application enablement capabilities.
“Nokia's decision to focus on its success in the consumer market and reignite its partnership programme on the enterprise side presents significant opportunity for companies with strong behind-the-firewall business mobility solutions such as Sybase,” said Stephen Drake, programme director, mobile enterprise, IDC. “Sybase's Information Anywhere Suite presents a viable migration option for Nokia Intellisync customers.”
