B2M Solutions, a specialist in the management of the mobile enterprise, has today announced a worldwide original equipment partnership with Syclo LLC. The agreement integrates the core mobile device management modules of B2M's mprodigy mobile enterprise management suite into Syclo Agentry 5.1 to deliver Agentry Mobile Device Management (MDM) and is said to represent months of collaborative design and development effort.
Claimed to be the first embedded solution available, the integration with the Syclo platform facilitates control of the extended mobile enterprise in mission-critical line-of-business (LOB) environments.
Syclo has introduced Agentry MDM from B2M Solutions with the objective of reducing day-to-day management costs for large mobile deployments. With capabilities such as mobile asset management, update and patch management, and remote troubleshooting, Syclo Agentry MDM is said to help companies minimise employee downtime, maximise utilisation, simplify deployment and provide streamlined support.
"We're seeing a big shift in how our customers think about mobility," said Rich Padula, Syclo founder and CEO. "For many, mobile applications are no longer a ‘nice-to-have', but a mission-critical tool that must be always available, easy to scale and inexpensive to manage. We've done a lot of work lately to ensure Syclo meets these objectives and working with B2M has fulfilled a significant part of that strategy. We chose mprodigy from B2M because not only is it a superior product in the marketplace but it provides us with competitive advantage."
"We are delighted that Syclo has chosen mprodigy. This is an endorsement of the close collaboration that has enabled the introduction of an embedded mobile device management (Agentry MDM) solution," said Julie Purves, Managing Director, B2M Solutions. "We anticipate going forward that this relationship and common vision will continue to deliver best-of-breed functionality throughout the entire mobile lifecycle."
