SYNOPSIS: New report from leading industry analyst firm positions iAnywhere
ahead of competitors in Mobile Device Management (MDM) Enterprise software
market.
DUBLIN, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a recent report,
Worldwide Mobile Device Management Enterprise 2003 Vendor Shares (IDC #31745,
August 2004) leading IT market research advisory firm IDC recognized iAnywhere
Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), as the leader in
mobile device management enterprise software with higher revenues and market
share than nearly 20 competitors. The results in this year's report reflect the
acquisition of XcelleNet by Sybase in May 2004 and mark the third consecutive
year that the XcelleNet(R) Afaria(R) product has led the MDM Enterprise
software market.
"As mobile enablement projects continue to be deployed across the enterprise,
businesses are recognizing the importance of mobile device management and
mobile security as a key element to such a rollout," said Stephen Drake,
program manager, Mobile Infrastructure Software at IDC. "Those suppliers who
offer a broader product set beyond just mobile extension of applications
deliver to enterprise customers more of what they seek -- a critical, value-add
integrated mobile solution."
"We're proud to hold the market leadership position in the MDM market, as we
feel that mobile device management is a crucial requirement for ensuring
success at the front lines of business," said Terry Stepien, president of
iAnywhere. "Our MDM leadership, combined with our number one positions in
mobile database and mobile middleware, provides customers with the industry's
most comprehensive and innovative portfolio of mobile enterprise solutions."
IDC expects the MDM Enterprise market to reach a compound annual growth rate of
44.9 percent through 2008, reaching a total of $911.4 million. As defined by
IDC, the Mobile Device Management Enterprise software provides standard
features found in all desktop administration solutions, such as maintaining PC
hardware and software inventories, performing software distribution, managing
antivirus scan files and enabling remote control for systems diagnostics. In
addition, MDM Enterprise solutions also include advanced functions that address
the needs of mobile and wireless users, such as mobile security, support for
offline and over-the-air wireless synchronization, and back up and recovery
capabilities.
