Make that 9 Reasons IT Won't Support iPhone
Apple appears to be working on improving the iPhone's support of Microsoft's Exchange email platform, which could finally deliver true syncing capabilities, eliminating a potential objection to enterprise adoption. At least that's what one would conclude from a new company job posting.
The listing seeks a "motivated, highly-technical Exchange test/sync engineer with excellent problem solving and communication skills."
"You will join a dynamic team responsible for qualifying the latest iPhone products," the company wrote. "Your focus will be testing Exchange and Outlook functionality with Apple’s innovative new phone."
So far, the iPhone's official support of Exchange has been limited to IMAP functionality.
The lack of full support for the Microsoft platform is commonly cited as one of the primary barriers to adoption of the Apple handset by businesses, as Exchange is widely deployed as the email solution of choice amongst the corporate world.
But there are lots of other reasons enterprise IT might not be rushing to embrace the iPhone as an officially supported device. See the post below.
