INDIANAPOLIS, March 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MOBI, the most technologically advanced Managed Mobility Service
(MMS) provider, and MobileIron, a leader in security and management
for mobile apps, content, and devices, today announced a Tech
Alliance partnership and robust technology integration that
optimizes how enterprises manage their mobile estates. Wireless
carrier data and corporate HR data--centralized by MOBI--is
combined with the device and mobile app control and visibility
provided by MobileIron's Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)
platform. As a result, enterprises unlock greater security,
control, and efficiency when managing corporate owned or employee
owned (BYOD) devices that are accessing corporate systems and
data.
"Enterprise mobility is evolving rapidly; enabling corporations,
through mobility utilization, to differentiate and drive
organizational value, which also creates greater internal
complexity," said Mitch Black, President of MOBI. "Through this
partnership and integration between MOBI and MobileIron,
organizations can now capitalize on the synergies created from the
combination of Managed Mobility Services (MMS) and Enterprise
Mobility Management (EMM). These two practices have always
been closely related and consumed in tandem, but technology
advancements, like our integration with MobileIron, are making the
relationship more symbiotic than ever. Enterprises are now further
able to mitigate security and cost risks, simplify and more
efficiently manage their mobile devices, wireless carrier services
and mobile users."
"Being a 'Mobile First' organization, means embracing mobility as your primary IT platform," said Ojas Rege, Vice President Strategy, MobileIron. "Our partnership with MOBI layers managed mobility services and technology on top of the security provided by MobileIron to support the move to Mobile First."
The MOBI and MobileIron partnership optimizes Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM). Through the use of added technology--including a robust integration between MOBI and MobileIron, and managed mobility services--enterprises achieve enhanced control, greater visibility, reduced costs, and increased efficiency when managing mobile devices.
