InnoPath Continues Mobile Device Management Leadership by Announcing Support for the Newly Ratified OMA-DM SCOMO Standard
Sets the stage for powerful, multi-vendor over-the-air lifecycle application management
Sunnyvale, California, November
19, 2008 – InnoPath Software, the
leader in Mobile Device Management (MDM), today
announced support for the newly ratified OMA-DM
Software Component Management Object (SCOMO)
Candidate Enabler. A standards-based method
of managing the lifecycle of applications on
mobile phones sets the stage for a new generation
of over-the-air capabilities for both consumers
and enterprises, while avoiding the single
vendor lock-in that characterized previous
approaches.
InnoPath first demonstrated draft SCOMO support
at the Mobile World Congress in 2007, and as
the convener of SCOMO within OMA-DM, the company
has been actively working with its key operator
and device manufacturer partners to bring to
market a solution that is both deployable and
scalable. Additionally, InnoPath was the first
company to demonstrate interoperability with
3 rd party SCOMO clients. MDM vendors may now
build solutions based on a stable baseline, while
operators may plan their deployments with assurances
of interoperability and broad industry support.
The other newly ratified standards supported
by InnoPath include the Device Capabilities Management
Object, or DCMO.
“Mobile Device Management is evolving
from point products based on customized platforms
to a general solution providing care for both
consumers and enterprises,” said David
Ginsburg, Vice President of Marketing at InnoPath. “That
the industry has converged on SCOMO for lifecycle
application management is a sign of a maturing
market.”
MDM enables the operator’s care organization
to provide better service with reduced expenses
despite increasing device and service complexity.
InnoPath is unique in delivering a device management
solution, which while supporting industry standards
such as OMA-DM, is also highly flexible, extensible
and quickly implemented. The ROI for MDM-enabled
customer care has been illustrated in a recent
study by the analyst firm Stratecast which places
the annual global operator exposure at over $25
billion, billions of which may be saved through
MDM. Interested parties can review a copy of
