3GSM NEWS: Toshiba selects InnoPath's integrated Mobile Device Management solution
InnoPath Software, an industry leader in Integrated Mobile Device Management (iMDM), has been selected by Toshiba Corporation to deliver its device management system on the 2007 spring handset models including SoftBank 812T, 813T, and 911T. The solution has also been deployed on the SoftBank 810T, 811T, and 910T models, which have been available on the market since last year. InnoPath's solution allows for easy and fast software updates to handsets using over-the-air technology.
"We are pleased to be working with InnoPath, a technology leader and industry visionary for both client and server Integrated Mobile Device Management," said Mr. Kosei Okamoto, chief technology executive, Mobile Communications Company, an in-house company of Toshiba. "Together we are providing carriers with a solution that will help drive revenue and customer loyalty."
InnoPath's client solution is deployed on over 170 handset models, more than any other vendor, while the company commands over 90% of the Japanese MDM market based on subscribers served by its server and client solutions. InnoPath supports initial device configuration and/or provisioning, the ability to remotely diagnose the device for problems, downloading new firmware if required, and ongoing management of applications including the overall user interface. InnoPath iMDM also offers a way to secure the device if it is lost or stolen, or providing a means by which operators can restore critical data. One of the more powerful capabilities of InnoPath's iMDM suite is the ability to create a workflow, merging together a set of actions such as firmware and configuration updates. The company was recently recognised by leading research firm IDC as one of ten emerging mobile vendors to watch for 2007.
"Operators, faced with the business realities of deploying advanced data services across a variety of complex devices, are at an advantage if they have at their disposal a pre-integrated MDM solution," said John Fazio, president and CEO of InnoPath. "This permits them to focus their energies on the things that matter most - growing the top-line through new services deployment, and focusing on customer satisfaction."
InnoPath is demonstrating its complete suite of standards-based server and client solutions at 3GSM.
