Duke University Health System Named Best in Mobile Security
Category DUBLIN, Calif., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sybase iAnywhere
is pleased to announce that Duke University Health System is the
recipient of the 2006 Mobile Impact(TM) Award in the Mobile
Security category. The Mobile Impact Awards are presented by the
Mobile Enterprise Alliance (MEA), a global advocacy group promoting
the business benefits of workforce mobility to enterprise end users
and decision makers. The prestigious awards honor leading
enterprises for successful and innovative deployments of mobile
enterprise solutions that successfully balance technology
investments with business objectives. The six winners were
announced Wednesday at the Yankee Group Mobilizing the Enterprise
Summit in Boston, Massachusetts. More information about the Mobile
Impact Awards program and the winning case studies may be found at
http://www.mobileenterprise.org/awards . The Duke University Health
System encompasses three hospitals and a range of outpatient
facilities and physician practices. The Health System has
approximately 11,100 full-time employees. Duke University Health
System wanted to mobile-enable these workers, giving them the
ability to access critical patient information and research
materials on their PDAs. Sybase iAnywhere Afaria(R) frontline
management software allowed Duke University Health System to
proactively manage all the devices, applications, data and
communications critical to their frontline users. They used
Afaria's abilities to manage software distribution and updates,
provide access to current information, and enable device management
and security from a centralized browser interface. The results of
the mobile enterprise infrastructure managed and secured by Afaria
are significant. Clinicians can now access and update patient
information and applications from PDAs for more efficient and
effective patient care. They have the ability to record and monitor
medical student activities more efficiently as they are entered on
school-issued PDAs. New applications can be pushed out to end-user
PDAs and existing applications can be updated centrally and
transparently. Most importantly with respect to mobile security,
information is collected and securely exchanged between PDAs and
back-end systems to protect patient confidentiality in accordance
with HIPAA regulations. "Duke University Medical Center
demonstrates 'state of the art' for enterprise mobility in 2006
with an innovative mobile deployment that balances technology
investments with business objectives," stated Daniel Taylor,
managing director, MEA. Mobile Impact Award nominations were
