SUNNYVALE, CA — January 08,
2007 — IDC, a leading international
analyst firm, has identified InnoPath Software,
Inc., an industry leader in Integrated Mobile
Device Management (IMDM), as one of ten emerging
mobile players to watch in 2007. IDC chose
InnoPath based on the company’s technical
leadership and market traction.
The IDC report, Ten Emerging Mobile Players
to Watch in 2007 (IDC #204820, December 2006),
identifies small companies generating a market
impact disproportionate to their size, taking
into account market creation, innovation, vision,
and potential. “A comprehensive
integrated mobile device management approach
is critical as is a track record of commercial
deployments complemented with a strong worldwide
customer base of Tier 1 operators,” said
Stephen Drake, Program Director, from IDC.
InnoPath is in a key position to lead operators
into the next phase of MDM, building on its
foundation of applications that reduce operational
expenses, such as firmware updates and configuration
management, and extending to features that
help operators drive data revenue growth. Two
capabilities key to this growth, to be demonstrated
at the upcoming 3GSM conference in Barcelona,
include Software and Workflow Management.
Software Management permits the operator to
preserve their place within the mobility value-chain,
acting as a nexus for user software downloads,
updates, and billing, thereby increasing data
ARPU. This capability helps insure that
the application running on the handset is also
secure, operates free of bugs, and is up-to-date. Workflow
Management, unique to InnoPath, ties all phases
of MDM together into a single workflow, reducing
the potential for operator error, thereby increasing
efficiency and ultimately customer satisfaction.
“IDC’s recognition of InnoPath
is testament to our vision of helping operators
evolve their MDM deployments from the tactical
to the strategic to drive new revenues and
increase ARPU,” said John Fazio, president
and CEO of InnoPath. “We delivered the
industry’s first Integrated MDM solution.
Now, we are introducing a new era of mobile
data with our Workflow and Software Management,
raising the bar once again.”
