CONCORD, Mass., April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sakon, the leading platform and services provider for understanding, managing and transforming enterprise communications, has been named a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobility Management Services, Global. Sakon is one of fifteen MMS providers acknowledged by Gartner and plotted based on ability to execute and completeness of vision.
“We believe Gartner inclusion of Sakon as a Visionary provider in its Magic Quadrant for Global MMS validates our platform strategy,” said Amine Doukkali, Chief Operating Officer of Sakon. “Every enterprise today is wrestling with a workplace impacted by Covid19, growing volumes of disparate data, and the increasingly rapid rate of technological change. Our solution was designed to accommodate such unpredictable forces and purpose-built to orchestrate the entire enterprise mobility lifecycle. As MMS continues to evolve, Sakon is innovating with it, providing elegant simplicity and peace of mind for our clients as we unify the increasingly complex IT profile of end-users.”
Sakon Mobile delivers a data first approach to managing and operating mobile computing environments for the enterprise. The platform integrates with all mobile data sources to orchestrate employee support, carrier management, and the entire device lifecycle. Sakon Mobile’s flexible API-centric design enables it to support a range of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, wearables, ruggedized devices, and IoT. Integrated end-user self-service and an award-winning mobile app helps Sakon to simplify the management of strategic enterprise programs such as BYOD administration, device as a service, mobility as a shared service, and much more.
“We couldn’t be more excited by our inclusion as a Visionary,” said Andrew Goorno, Sakon’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our goal has always been to manage mobile computing devices in a seamless manner, even as the lifecycle of the end-user becomes increasingly complex. In that spirit, we continue to increase our workflows and integrations to automate employee onboarding and policy management, asset and inventory management, and financial management and optimization of the mobile estate. Our ‘Built on Now’ application is the tightest integration to ServiceNow yet. And we’re enabling new models like Device-as-a-Service, which is gaining momentum as the laptop becomes more like the smartphone.”
Today, Sakon offers a complete MMS solution globally and manages more than 1.5 million mobile devices across all five regions on its Mobility platform, both for its direct customers and through its systems integrator partners.
