Performance and Tuning Services

"It was taking our distributors as long as 18 minutes each time they wanted to synchronize with our systems.  This was a bit of a sore point with them, as they had to just wait around for the process to complete. We knew we had to improve the synchronization performance so we turned to Sybase iAnywhere Professional Services to help us do that. Working together, we were able to tune MobiLink to reduce the synchronization time for data volumes of up to three megabytes from an average of 18 to five minutes per session. This performance improvement was enthusiastically received by our distributors and won us a lot of good will from them."

- Chan Kang, Director of Applications, Tasty Baking Company
