Sybase 365, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), the global
leader in mobile messaging services, today announced an agreement
to resell Microsoft Windows Live Messenger services to its mobile
operator customers in South East Asia, providing them a simplified
way to offer the popular Windows Live Instant Messenger for Mobile
to millions of mobile subscribers. The agreement builds on the five
year collaboration between the two companies on services including
Windows Live Hotmail mobile.
�This agreement is a natural extension of our ongoing
partnership with Microsoft,� said Howard Stevens, senior vice
president International Operations, Sybase 365. �Our goal is to
continue to provide a win-win situation for our customers�be they
mobile operators or the independent software vendors�by providing
value and revenue for all parties. We are excited to be a part of
bringing one of the Internet�s most popular services to millions of
mobile devices around the world.�
As consumer demand continues to build for mobile messaging
services beyond text, the next logical areas of focus are
multi-media messaging (MMS) and mobile IM services. The Windows
Live community is already one of the largest on the Internet with
more than 550 million users and will continue to grow as it becomes
more readily deployed on mobile devices worldwide.
Sybase 365 operator customers offering the service include
Singapore�s StarHub and Malaysia�s DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd.
DiGi recently launched the country�s first integrated IM mobile
client allowing subscribers to access Windows Live Messenger and
other IM services on their mobile phones.
The service is being offered initially in South East Asia and
will be rolled out in other countries throughout the year.
