SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise mobility management provider Wavelink Corporation (www.wavelink.com) today announced it was named as a best-in-breed solution for Mobile Device Management (MDM) by Forrester Research.

“Wavelink is unique in the MDM landscape in that we have spent nearly 20 years developing the industry’s most comprehensive, multi-vendor solution for rugged mobile devices and are bringing that strong feature set and industry expertise to smart devices.”

The Forrester Market Overview entitled On-Premises Mobile Device Management Solutions was published to help IT professionals understand the MDM vendor landscape and develop a short list of vendor solutions for further evaluation.

Forrester interviewed 24 vendors for the report along with nearly 200 customers in order to evaluate the features and benefits of each of the vendors. Among the criteria evaluated were configuration tools, security management, application controls, reporting, contextual policies, platforms supported and deployment architectures.

According to the report, MDM technology “allows IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals to support multiple platforms and form factors, extend management and security policies to both corporate-liable and employee-owned devices, and automate service desk support. This is especially important as I&O develops bring-your-own-device programs to support the business needs and high expectations of its empowered workers.”

“This is a great validation of the depth of our MDM solution from a leading industry analyst firm,” said Jay Cichosz, Wavelink vice president of marketing. “Wavelink is unique in the MDM landscape in that we have spent nearly 20 years developing the industry’s most comprehensive, multi-vendor solution for rugged mobile devices and are bringing that strong feature set and industry expertise to smart devices.”

Wavelink was one of only two MDM vendors listed in the report to have its own expense management solution. Wavelink Avalanche Telicost helps administrators proactively monitor, analyze and manage data, voice, SMS and roaming usage in order to recognize potential overages and analyze usage patterns across carriers and platforms.
