InnoPath Software Penetrates Latin America Mobile Operator Market with Leading Mobile Device Management Solution
Expansion of Sales Operations Builds on
Strong Tier 1 Operator Traction
Sunnyvale ,
California, October 2, 2007 – Building on global
Tier 1 operator MDM successes, InnoPath Software,
the leader in Integrated Mobile Device Management
(iMDM) solutions, has announced expansion into
Latin America with the establishment of a regional
sales and support office in Brazil. As MDM
deployments become more strategic to the region,
operators are looking to include advanced management
functionality within their mobile networks
with a goal of reducing operational expenses,
increasing customer satisfaction, and facilitating
new service deployment.
“InnoPath is excited about the opportunities
in Latin America and are already planning with
our partners and customers in the region. We
believe 2008 is a pivotal year in the adoption
of device management applications in the region,” according
to Jeff Pool, Vice President of Sales for the
Americas.
New and existing subscribers look to their
wireless service providers to enable more sophisticated
media and communications services while avoiding
the complexity trap that can cause them to quickly
abandon a new service offering. Given that the
Latin American region is still experiencing strong
initial growth, with overall wireless penetration
doubling between 2004 and 2008 to almost 70%
(*), the initial subscriber experience is critical.
In fact, by the end of next year, the 275 million
wireless subscribers across Latin America will
approach that of North America.
“The flexibility that MDM provides will
be critical for mobile operators in Latin America
in 2008. Demand will also be generated by new
3G deployments, the number of portability initiatives,
as well as the continuous need for operational
cost reductions and improvements in customer
satisfaction,” says Carlos Castilho, Director
of Sales for Latin America for Innopath. Carlos
Castilho has more than 10 years experience in
the mobile market in Latin America, with previous
assignments at Siemens and LogicaCMG.
InnoPath is unique in its
ability to offer the network operator a pre-integrated
server and client MDM solution, in addition
to third-party interoperability via Open Mobile
Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) standards.
The company’s
server software has been deployed at major operators
including ATT, KDDI, Sprint, and Softbank Mobile.
Client partnerships include Foxconn, Kyocera,
LG, NEC, Panasonic, Pantech & Curitel, Samsung,
Sanyo, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba.
InnoPath will be demonstrating its end-to-end
MDM solution, including customer care, security
management, and lifecycle application management,
at the upcoming Informa MDM conference in Rio
de Janeiro, Oct 8-10. Additional information
is available at www.innopath.com.
