For example, existing web applications designed for delivery to PDAs can now be seamlessly deployed to tablets," said Diana Ungersma, product manager at iAnywhere. "This upgrade provides companies with unprecedented device flexibility while keeping development costs very low since they can leverage their existing web development expertise."

"M-Business Anywhere combines iAnywhere's powerful database, synchronization and Web application capabilities to simplify deployment to multiple form factors. By supporting tablets, laptops and PCs in addition to PDAs, iAnywhere has made M-Business Anywhere an even stronger enterprise platform and extended its leadership in enabling anytime/anywhere access to crucial business resources," said Warren Wilson, practice director, Mobile and Wireless Business Solutions at Summit Strategies.

M-Business Anywhere is the core technology of the popular AvantGo® mobile Internet service, which has more than 10 million registered users worldwide. The platform enables companies to extend web content and applications, including CRM, ERP, and other enterprise solutions, to mobile devices rapidly and with low total cost of ownership. M-Business Anywhere supports both wireless and offline "sync and go" connectivity, ensuring always available access to web-based information from any location. New enhancements include:

-- The industry's broadest device support -- new support for tablets,
laptops and PCs enhances existing support for PDAs to provide
companies with the most flexible solution available. Applications can
be written once and deployed to multiple computing devices, providing
seamless access to web-based corporate data, content and applications
with only minimal user interface customization.
-- New usage tracking capabilities -- the addition of reporting and
tracking capabilities provides companies with essential information
for optimizing application performance and adoption, including:
-- reports built directly into the application user interface provide
IT with information such as synchronization times and frequency.
-- detailed tracking data notes whether synchronizations are
conducted via wireless network or PC cradle, enabling companies
to optimize the amount and type of information delivered.
-- user identification such as device manufacturer, model and serial
number helps companies with accurate asset management.
-- Support for global deployments -- client device user interfaces now
support multiple languages, enhancing the international user
experience. As a result, not only can a company use a single server
to deliver accurate localized content, but each user can also access
a client user interface in the correct language.
