Alliance partnership has mobility implications

B2M Solutions, specialist mobile enterprise manager, has announced an alliance partnership with NetMotion Wireless, provider of mobile productivity and management software.

The relationship is intended to allow both companies to collaborate on software development to provide customers with a fully managed mobile enterprise where the wireless communications are both secure and stable.
 
The arrangement means that NetMotion’s customer base of over 1,200 organisations now has access to the B2M mprodigy mobile management system, which will work with NetMotion’s Mobility XE, the company's award-winning mobile virtual private network (VPN) software. In turn, B2M’s customers can use Mobility XE as part of an mprodigy installation to ensure a secure communications path between mobile devices and company servers. 
 
Peter George, vice president of international operations at NetMotion Wireless said: ‘Full systems management is a vital component for all large mobile enterprises and B2M mprodigy has been selected by NetMotion Mobility customers looking for a comprehensive management system. The success of projects for these joint customers has proven our Mobility XE mobile VPN is entirely complementary with mprodigy.’
 
Julie Purves, managing director of B2M Solutions added: ‘Both B2M and NetMotion have designed their solutions from the ground-up to be used in a mobile environment and we have a mutual advantage over systems built on legacy fixed networks and office based systems. NetMotion Mobility secures the communications links between devices and the host and mprodigy delivers total management over a mobile estate.’
 
Alongside mprodigy’s management capabilities, the recently-introduced features of Mobility XE version 8.0 have been designed to meet the security and connectivity needs of highly mobile field personnel.
