I thought it fitting to make a bold statement today as this is my 100th article on Ulitzer...

The iPhone is here to stay!

Now the follow-on statement is more thought provoking... What's an Enterprise to do about it?

Enterprise iPhone If you have followed my previous articles you will know that I'm a devoted advocate of mobility, especially in particular Apple's iPhone and I know that this device is now making its way into businesses, via the mass adoption in the consumer market. I have, in the past few months, written on various subjects such as the integration of Corporate Email, Security & Management of mobile devices, as well as Enterprise adoption and the necessity for businesses to address these previous points to safeguard their mobile devices containing corporate assets.

I'm excited that Sybase has now created a very cool interactive brochure, which is very much from the same school of thought. Check out what Sybase is saying here
