US Member Firm of Global Accounting, Tax and Business Advisory
Organization Leverages Information Anywhere Suite to Streamline
Desktop and Mobile Laptop Management DUBLIN, Calif., April 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase iAnywhere today announced that
Grant Thornton LLP, one of the largest accounting, tax and business
advisory firms in the U.S., has selected Information Anywhere(R)
Afaria(R) mobile device management technology, to ensure that its
policies, procedures and other technical reference information are
current and available to its 3,000 Assurance mobile professionals
on their desktop and laptop computers. Information Anywhere suite
is a platform that addresses converging enterprise requirements for
mobile email, collaboration, security, device management and
application enablement. Sybase iAnywhere device management has
enabled Grant Thornton to improve the efficiency of its information
distribution -- pushing only changes in policies and internal
methodologies to its professionals, rather than repeatedly sending
an exhaustive re-publish of the entire electronic library every
time there was a change or addition to the source documents.
Improvements in efficient, reliable distribution mean less
bandwidth usage on Grant Thornton's network. Having immediate
access to current policies and procedures assists Grant Thornton
Assurance professionals in providing quality service to their
clients. "Client service is the life-blood of our business.
Providing what our firm refers to as the 'Grant Thornton
Experience' to our clients requires that our Assurance
professionals have remote, fingertip access to an ever increasing
and ever changing body of knowledge consisting of regulatory and
other technical reference literature," said David Holyoak, partner
and chief information officer, Grant Thornton LLP. "As a firm
focused on quality client service, we are always enhancing our
technology in ways to better serve our clients. Afaria enhances our
ability to deliver the 'Grant Thornton Experience' to our clients."
"Grant Thornton chose our mobile device management for its superior
ability to remotely manage all types of mobile and desktop
devices," said Shirley Macbeth, senior marketing director, Sybase
iAnywhere. "With this new solution, the firm can simplify and
streamline the process of getting compliance and regulatory content
out to its Assurance professionals in a more efficient and less
costly way." About Grant Thornton Grant Thornton LLP is the U.S.
