苹果携手IBM推出企业级iOS应用MobileFirst[摘要]双方合作推出的首批应用涵盖交通、金融、保险、零售、电信和政府等行业。
苹果和IBM今日联合面向企业iOS用户发布了第一批“IBM MobileFirst”应用。
苹果和IBM今年7月宣布，双方已达成一项排他性合作协议，将共同开发名为“IBM Mobile First for iOS”的企业级应用。
双方当时表示，从今秋开始，苹果将专门为IBM提供iPhone和iPad等设备，IBM为这些设备配上IBM MobileFirst应用后，提供给医疗保健、银行、保险、零售、旅游和运输等行业厂商。
今日，两家公司发布了首批专门为iPhone和iPad所打造的企业级应用，包括一些企业所需的核心功能，如额外的安全保护，嵌入式分析，以及其他一些重要的企业功能。这些应用还可以通过IBM的云服务进行管理和部署。
首批应用涵盖一系列行业，包括旅游与交通、银行与金融、保险、零售、电信和政府等。例如，旅游与交通领域的应用包括PlanFlight和Passenger+，银行与金融的应用包括Advise & Grow和Trusted Advice。
很明显，苹果希望通过与IBM这样的企业市场大型竞争对手合作来提升自己在企业市场的可信度，通过提供企业级应用来吸引更多企业用户购买自己的硬件。(谭燃)

实习与求职平台LookSharp收购Readyforce
LookSharp现已收购了Readyforce，这笔交易的财务条款目前不详。LookSharp是一家提供求职信息的创业公司，旗下运作有InternMatch平台；Readyforce则是一个针对大学生和应届毕业生的专业网络。
自2010年创立以来，Readyforce已经筹集到超过1200万美元的资金，投资方包括Menlo Ventures、First Round Capital和U.S. Ventures。LookSharp的公司名称之前就是InternMatch，后来才开始为雇主和学生推出更多的服务。到目前为止，该公司的融资总额为780万美元，投资方包括ARTIS Ventures、Rudy Gadre、500 Startups、Kapor Capital、Subtraction Capital和Vishal Makhijani等公司。
LookSharp表示，这次收购将会用来充实它的实习、初级职位和内容数据库，以便更好地帮助学生们找到第一份工作。
两家公司合并后还将有利于双方在一个碎片化市场更好地竞争。LookSharp面临着众多竞争者，比如CareerBuilder、Monster、Dice和Indeed，该公司的差异化经营方式就是：让雇主在工作、福利和公司文化方面提供更多的信息，以便找到最好的潜在求职者，而不是被数以百计的工作申请所淹没。与LookSharp合作的企业既有众多创业公司，也有Facebook、亚马逊、嘉信理财（Charles Schwab）、迪斯尼和波音这样的知名企业集团。
另一方面，Readyforce主要针对计算机科学和工程专业的学生提供服务。今年9月份，该公司推出了一个称为“探寻你的选择”（Explore Your Options）的工具，有了这个工具，已有录用通知的学生们在接受这份工作之前，还有机会看一看其他的工作机会。
LookSharp表示，自2011年创立以来，该公司每年用户增长速度都超过500%，现在其平台上有3万个雇主和1000万名学生。
LookSharp, An Internship And Job Listings Platform, Acquires Readyforce
LookSharp, a startup that offers job listings and operates InternMatch, has acquired Readyforce, a professional network for college students and new graduates. The deal’s financial terms were undisclosed.
Since launching in 2010, Readyforce has raised more than $12 million in funding from investors including Menlo Ventures, First Round Capital and U.S. Ventures. LookSharp, which was formerly known as just InternMatch before it began to roll out more services for employers and students, has raised a total of $7.8 million from ARTIS Ventures, Rudy Gadre, 500 Startups, Kapor Capital, Subtraction Capital and Vishal Makhijani.
LookSharp says the acquisition will allow it to grow its database of internships, entry-level positions, and content geared toward helping students looking for their first jobs.
Combining forces will also help the two companies better compete in a fragmented marketplace. LookSharp seeks to differentiate from rivals like CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice and Indeed by allowing employers to offer more information about their jobs, benefits and company culture, in hopes of finding the best prospective candidates instead of getting flooded with hundreds of applications. Companies that list on LookSharp include startups, as well as corporations including Facebook, Amazon, Charles Schwab, Disney and Boeing.
Readyforce, on the other hand, focuses mainly on computer science and engineering students. In September, the company launched a tool called “Explore Your Options,” which lets students who have already received offers see what other opportunities are out there before accepting a job.
Since launching in 2011, LookSharp says it has grown more than 500 percent year-over-year and now has 30,000 employers and 10 million students on its platform.
