Best-in-Class MDM Capabilities Dramatically Lower Total Cost of Ownership of Mobile Devices

AUSTIN, Texas, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Movero Technology, a leading provider of managed IT services for mobility, today announced a full suite of over-the-air (OTA) Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities designed to ease the overwhelming support burden on corporate IT organizations while significantly lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of mobile devices. This supplements Movero's leading suite of managed mobile IT services including procurement, staging and logistics, invoice management, expense management and 24x7 certified mobility support to provide an integrated solution that fully covers the entire lifecycle of mobile devices.

The enterprise mobility landscape is becoming increasingly complex. As new devices and platforms with greater processing power continue to enter the market, the demand for highly-sophisticated support services continues to escalate. Corporate IT organizations are struggling to find ways to cost-effectively enforce corporate security policies, drive mobile software updates, manage backup and restore capabilities and protect lost or stolen devices containing sensitive corporate data.

Industry analysts report that the TCO of a mobile device can be as high as $3,000 to $4,000 per year. The TCO of mobile devices is significantly higher than that of laptop and desktop computers, primarily because these portable devices are easily lost, stolen and frequently damaged.

"Our customers are increasingly requesting new technologies to help ease the burden of supporting mobile assets while simultaneously lowering operating costs," said Melanie Gray, chief executive officer at Movero. "Our over-the-air MDM solution ensures that mobile devices can be remotely backed-up, restored, or locked and wiped if misplaced or stolen. Deploying these capabilities significantly lowers the cost of implementing a mobile strategy."

The Movero solution enables IT organizations to ensure that all mobile devices are up-to-date and fully compliant with IT requirements for access to corporate assets - without having to return a device to a central location for upgrades.

The flexible solution enables combinations and variations of the following remote functionality:

• Asset Management: View and group devices by location, device type or other category.
• Software Management: Remotely assign software to the devices with the ability to provide software updates or patch management.
• Configuration Management: IT administrator may configure the settings and registry entries within a device population.
• Back-up and Restore a Device: Restore a device to a known configuration or reconfigure a new device to match a previous device configuration.
• Security Management: Remotely lock a device if it is stolen or lost, or wipe clean all corporate data stored on that device.

The Movero solution is backed by a world-class, US-based Certified Mobility Support center, staffed with mobility experts available to help organizations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every Movero client receives a unique toll-free phone number along with a dedicated team of agents that focus entirely on the account. Over 96 percent of Movero support calls are answered within 60 seconds.
