The alliance will focus initially on the management and security components of the Sybase Information Anywhere® suite, which provides a platform for enterprise mobility. Sybase will work closely with HTC on product optimisation and integration, resulting in stronger Windows Mobile device management and security options for enterprises.

'The combination of HTC's leadership in the Windows Mobile device market and Sybase's leadership in enterprise mobility software made this alliance a natural fit,' said Terry Stepien, president, Sybase iAnywhere. 'Combining our Sybase iAnywhere solutions with innovative HTC mobile devices and wireless infrastructure creates simple and affordable ways to improve productivity, increase efficiency and drive sales in an increasingly competitive marketplace.'

'HTC strategically aligns itself with technology-leading partners to provide exceptional value to our customers,' said Fred Liu, Chief Operating Officer, HTC. 'We are pleased to partner with Sybase iAnywhere to empower mobile workforces in a variety of industries to access and interact with their enterprise data at the point of business activity.'
