Today, companies are producing and demanding access to more data than ever before and an increasing number of organisations are recognising information as a strategic part of their business, says Sybase CEO Alan Cowley. As more organisations put the idea of data as an asset into practice and recognise the strategic value of information, so too will companies move to ensure that information is consistently useful, relevant, and ready to deliver economic value. To this end, Sybase SA provides solutions that enable customers to securely access information and applications easily, from anywhere, integrate the flow of information, independent of source or destination and manage and extend the value of information, from databases to devices. This approach benefits customers in creating an information edge over their competitors, Cowley says.
With Sybase software solutions, customers can optimise and enhance the investments they already own, link together the valuable data resources already in place and extend the reach of business-critical information to users on the front lines giving them financial agility and a productivity edge across all areas of their business.
