Sybase Enhances iAnywhere with Acquisitions

By James Miller

Sybase has announced the completion of its previously announced $95.2 million acquisition of XcelleNet. It has also finished the process of acquiring Dejima, a provider of mobile access solutions using natural language interface technology.

According to Sybase, it intends to integrate XcelleNet into its iAnywhere Solutions subsidiary, which delivers mobile database software and middleware. XcelleNet adds remote device management and mobile security technologies to the equation.

With roughly a 73 percent share, iAnywhere has been the mobile database leader for six years and serves over 12,000 corporate customers. The combined assets are expected to help Sybase improve its Unwired Enterprise portfolio for creating products that help organizations manage and mobilize data on the go.

Sybase has also completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Dejima, a provider of mobile access solutions using natural language interface technology. Sybase will integrate the Dejima assets into its iAnywhere Solutions subsidiary, adding technology that simplifies access to backend data, applications and information to its portfolio of mobile solutions.

Sybase plans to leverage the Dejima technology to add natural spoken language and text access through common messaging interfaces to backend systems such as databases and enterprise applications to easy access by non-technical end users.
