Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iPhone is getting seriously gussied up for its new role as an enterprise smartphone. With Apple bringing Microsoft Exchange support to the iPhone with the next iPhone update and Cisco already branding iPhone features with their VPN technology, not to mention IBM’s Lotus for iPhone, the iconic handset is sure to fire up corporate environments everywhere.
The latest enterprise software maker to lend its business-savvy to the iPhone’s amazing interface and sleek looks is Sybase. The company has introduced iPhone support for its Information Anywhere Suite with the announcement of the Sybase iAnywhere. The iAnywhere suite will allow corporate IT networks to deliver Lotus Domino and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Exchange enterprise email to its soon-to-be corporate-fleet of iPhones.
With the help of Apple’s enterprise-blessing and the newly released iPhone SDK, Sybase says that it can deliver enterprise communications as well as corporate directories and personal contacts through a secure channel - all without the need to modify the enterprise infrastructure.
iAnywhere for iPhone will be available by month’s end.
iPhone users can look forward to using their precious handset as a serious enterprise platform. Or at least pretend to do business with a business-suited iPhone.
