Contributes expertise in Integrated Mobile
Device Management.
SUNNYVALE,
CA - August
6, 2007 - InnoPath,
the leader in Integrated Mobile Device Management
(iMDM), today announced that it has joined
the LiMo Foundation, an independent, not-for-profit
entity aiming to increase the adoption of Linux
within the mobile industry whose founders are
Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile
Communications, Samsung Electronics, and Vodafone.
InnoPath has taken a contributing role by becoming
a member of the LiMo Requirements Council.
“As a member of the LiMo Foundation, InnoPath
is providing leadership to a global alliance
driving the future of mobile device technology,” says
John Fazio, InnoPath President and CEO. “Carriers
increasingly demand mobile device management
for three applications: customer care, security,
and software management. InnoPath, with its understanding
of the end-to-end MDM environment, is uniquely
equipped to help the LiMo Foundation develop
its mobile client to satisfy those requirements.”
InnoPath’s contributions will follow its
impressive track record worldwide. The company
has implemented its solutions at top-tier carriers,
including ATT, KDDI, Sprint, Softbank Mobile,
and device manufacturers that include Kyocera,
LG, NEC, Panasonic, Pantech & Curitel, Samsung,
Sanyo, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba. A recently
released report* by IDC identifies InnoPath Software
as the strongest MDM vendor in its ability to
gain market share and alignment with market opportunities.
“We welcome InnoPath to the LiMo Foundation
and value the company’s expertise in Mobile
Device Management," said Morgan Gillis,
Executive Director of the LiMo Foundation. "InnoPath
will play an integral role in establishing the
Limo Foundation at the center of open, transparent,
scalable ecosystem, spanning application and
middleware developer communities and encouraging
the creation of compelling, differentiated and
enhanced consumer experiences.”
Industry analysts predict that the mobile software
and services market will exceed $6 billion by
2009, with open platforms as the fastest growing
segment. Handsets that support the LiMo platform
are expected to reach the market by 2008.
