Hardware Solutions
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), a
leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, and HTC
Corp. (TAIEX:2498; "HTC"), the world's leading provider of Microsoft
Windows Mobile-based smart devices, today announced the formation of a
global alliance. The companies are teaming on strategic business,
engineering and marketing initiatives designed to deliver optimized Sybase
iAnywhere mobility software on HTC devices.
The alliance will focus initially on the management and security
components of the Sybase Information Anywhere(R) suite, which provides a

market and Sybase's leadership in enterprise mobility software made this
alliance a natural fit," said Terry Stepien, president, Sybase iAnywhere.
