Friday, 13 January 2006 02:56 EST
Funambol, the mobile open source software company, today announced that CA, one of the world's largest information technology (IT) management software companies, has licensed Funambol’s mobile application server for use in its products targeted at managing smartphone devices in the enterprise.
At its recent CA World user conference, CA previewed new management technologies under development that address the management of smart phones. “Enterprise IT organizations know they have to do a better job of managing and securing the smartphones they’re using to maximize the productivity of their mobile workforces,” said Marc Camm, vice president of smartphone solutions at CA. “By utilizing Funambol’s standards-based mobile application server, CA will enable customers to manage and secure their smartphones in a common manner with their other enterprise assets – thereby simplifying operations and ensuring consistent implementation of management across the enterprise.”
Mobile email continues to gain momentum in the enterprise, driving increased use of sophisticated and diverse mobile handsets. The multitude of mobile device types has made device management a serious issue in business networks. Systems managers need to be able to remotely monitor, configure and manage mobile handsets and are leveraging new standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) to accomplish these critical functions. Funambol’s mobile open source application server is the standard implementation of the OMA Device Management standard (popularly known as SyncML) that supports a compatible, ubiquitous environment for management of mobile phones irrespective of handset vendor.
“The diversity of mobile handsets has increased the complexity of managing fleets of devices among networks,” said Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol. “Funambol’s mobile open source software eases device management by allowing customers such as CA to provide a central, standardized and compatible environment for the devices and networks they support.”
