From the SFGate, July 15, 2014.

Apple and IBM, at various points rivals and allies for control of the desktop computer market, became partners again Tuesday in a deal to create more than 100 mobile apps designed specifically for use in businesses.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Apple and IBM said they would develop a class of "industry-specific" business apps designed from the ground up for Apple's iPhone and iPad.

IBM will provide cloud services tailored for Apple's iOS mobile operating system, "including device management, security, analytics and mobile integration," a joint press release said.

And IBM will sell iPhones and iPads to business clients around the world.

Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies of San Jose said, "The big knock on Apple has been that they were not serious about the enterprise. That is not the case now. With IBM, they can attack it head on and IBM will be there to sell and support the devices and make it easier for enterprises to integrate iOS devices into their overall IT program."

I'm sure glad IBM uses BIO-key in their Tivoli SSO application.
