) is extending its leadership position in the wireless space by announcing an alliance with Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Inc. and Isovia, Inc. to bring to market an innovative wireless solution developed to greatly enhance state and local government employees' ability to serve citizens. This is the first project the companies have engaged in since announcing CIBER as a partner in Sun's iForce(SM) eIntegrator Program, solidifying their combined focus in facilitating greater collaboration and providing a maximum level of service to joint customers in the eBusiness marketplace.

Along with Sun, Isovia and iPlanet, CIBER has developed a wireless case management solution, called the "mGovernment Case Management." The solution allows highly mobile federal, state and local government employees -- such as social workers, parole and probation officers, and inspectors -- to input case data, update files, receive alerts and respond to requests while in the field, enabling them to serve clients and families more effectively and accurately with real-time access to data without time consuming trips back to a centralized cen·tral·ize

"CIBER architected this solution and selected best-of-breed technologies that have particular focuses on security, reliability and scalability," said Rick Bolin, CIBER's Wireless National Practice Leader. "By combining Sun's infrastructure, iPlanet's server-based tools and directory services, and Isovia's m-business platform, we are able to ensure performance. Previously, field employees would spend four days per week in the field collecting data and one day per week downloading the gathered information into a centralized database. CIBER's new solution will allow social workers to remain in the field five days per week and improves file accuracy and timeliness."

"CIBER and Sun are working closely together to rapidly create and bring wireless, value-added solutions to the government sector," said Darlene Yaplee, Vice President, Global Integrators, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The mGovernment Case Management solution resulted from a combination of leading-edge technology, an in-depth understanding of what state and local governments are looking for Looking for

"CIBER and Isovia have taken a leadership position in providing mobile solutions for field service within various industry verticals including insurance," said Hemant Taneja, Isovia's Chief Executive Officer and Founder. "We are very excited to work with CIBER and Sun to deliver a solution targeted for government agencies. Their expertise in this sector combined with state-of-the-art technologies from Isovia and iPlanet will drive real ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system.

Having recently been selected as a member of Sun's iForce eIntegrator Program, CIBER is positioned to co-brand the social worker solution and other service offerings with Sun and leverage technical training and education, establish joint competency centers, align technologies and extend solution capabilities. Currently, CIBER and its partners are developing additional custom solution applications for mobile government employees. As the application development continues to grow, numerous government agencies will benefit from using these devices that can be applied to many government agencies including agriculture, law enforcement, education, taxation, assessor, insurance, natural resources, economic development, revenue, wildlife and transportation.
