CA licenses Funambol's mobile technology

CA will use the Sync4j mobile app in its tools to manage mobile devices

Funambol, a developer of open-source data synchronization software for mobile devices, has licensed its Sync4j mobile application server to CA Inc., the company said Tuesday.

The software works with mobile devices supporting the SyncML standard to synchronize contacts databases and other information between devices. This year, Funambol intends to expand Sync4j's capabilities to include push e-mail delivery.

CA, a specialist in IT management software, will use the software in its tools to manage mobile devices such as smart phones in the enterprise, according to Funambol.

Mobile applications, devices and services will be one of the focuses of CA's research efforts over the next year, the company said at its CA World conference in Las Vegas in November. The company created a new research division, CA Labs, to study mobile applications and two other areas, advanced applications on converged networks, and SOA (service oriented architecture) applications, it said.
