The iMDM Device Suite is a standards-based client solution that
makes any mobile device MDM-ready. InnoPath iMDM devices are
interoperable with the iMDM Carrier Suite, as well as any other
standards-based MDM server software. InnoPath offers both carrier
and device manufacturer solution suites, which when deployed
together, result in an end-to-end life cycle solution for mobile
device management. Deployment is fast and cost effective because
no additional integration is required to make the client/server
solution work smoothly.
As a founding member of OMA, InnoPath
Software serves in a variety of key roles in the development
and adoption of technology standards. InnoPath is an innovator
and leader in OMA – with more than 70 OMA submissions and
donations of proprietary source code – and will continue
to contribute to future standards initiatives. Unlike many
vendors, InnoPath supports all mandatory and optional OMA
features as specified. In a series of recent OMA-sponsored “test
fests,” InnoPath successfully demonstrated interoperability
between the company’s OMA/MDM server and client, and OMA
DM 1.2 compliant clients and servers from multiple vendors.
To date, the company has certified more than 140 mobile
handset models on its MDM solutions from leading manufacturers
worldwide, including Alcatel, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sony
Ericsson, Sanyo and Siemens. InnoPath’s iMDM Solutions
Suites leverage OMA standards where available, but also
provide added functionality to deliver fully integrated,
end-to-end MDM solutions for carriers and device manufacturers.
Importance of Mobile Device Management (MDM) Standards
 Mobile
Device Management (MDM) has quickly grown to serve a
critical need within the industry, with clear benefits
for mobile operators and device manufacturers: increased
adoption of new services to drive revenue, reduced operational
and support costs, and improved customer satisfaction
and loyalty. OMA interoperability standards, however,
are far from complete. Standards for firmware and configuration
updates continue to evolve, and no standard for mobile
diagnostics has been approved. While OMA standards provide
for interoperability, device manufacturers and/or carriers
still must build device-specific clients to support the
standards. Future refinements and advancements in MDM
and standards have become a core requirement for cost-effectively
coping with the meteoric growth of mobile devices.
