With Australia boasting smartphone usage which is the second highest per capita worldwide, according to recent IPSOS Research figures, CIBER is looking to capitalise through a new partnership with Sybase, boosting its enterprise mobility offering in Australia and New Zealand.
According to CIBER, the partnership encompasses the Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP) for development of mobile applications and Afaria, Sybase’s mobile device management and security solution.
CIBER already offers end-to-end mobility solutions for ERP, warehousing, healthcare, logistics and other system environments, and has an iTunes app built on SUP which gives users access to product catalogues and product details, customer records including orders and invoices, a shopping basket for creating sales orders and quotes, an invoice display and key performance indicator metrics.
On the deal, CIBER ANZ managing director Jonathan Bucktin said, “Mobile applications represent significant value for businesses, from improving service and decision-making based on real-time information, to reducing sales cycles and enhancing inventory management.
“Having seen successes first-hand with our own customers, we at CIBER know that a sound mobility strategy and well-designed applications offer enormous opportunities to companies seeking to connect with their workers and customers who use mobile devices. This partnership with Sybase strengthens and multiplies the mobility solutions we’ll be able to provide.”
Sybase managing director of Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia Dereck Daymond said it welcomed CIBER to its growing partner community, and the partnership will help organisations take advantage of the proliferation of smartphones and tablets.
