We do allow this, but use require compliance with Exchange policies on PINs, remote wipe, encryption etc.

I'm looking at evaluating it since it will allow us to segment and control corporate data away from personal data. It works with WinMo too.. This will allow us to allow our associates to use their personal phones and sync to corporate data. The one scary thing about sybase is it costs more than my BB infrastructure on a per user basis. I'll hopefully get approval to proceed with my study/POC. ________________________________ From: Andy Ognenoff [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 2:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: IPhone 3g <Nightmare> I'm curious how these 2 products will change things for iPhone in the enterprise: http://good.com/corp/int_products.php?id=good_mobile_control_iphone&pid=good_for_enterprise http://www.sybase.com/products/mobileenterprise/iphone - Andy O. >From: Rod Trent [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 4:01 PM >To: NT System Admin Issues >Subject: RE: IPhone 3g <Nightmare> > >Security is the primary issue.
