MDSL and FancyFon combine expense and device management
November 1, 2011 No CommentsSOURCE: MobileEurope
MDSL’s Smart TEM and FancyFon’s FAMOC combined to manage Corporate Data MDSL, a provider of international Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and Market Data Management (MDM) solutions, has announced its partnership with FancyFon, a pioneer in mobile device lifecycle management solutions which enable organisations to securely control multiple smartphones over the air from a single point of control.
MDSL has entered into a collaborative working arrangement with FancyFon and will be integrating its market-leading Smart TEM solution with FancyFon’s FAMOC mobile device lifecycle management system. Both MDSL and FancyFon have recently been recognised by independent analysts Gartner Inc. in their respective “Gartner Magic Quadrants” and the seamless integration of features from the two product sets offers a winning combination of management, security and control to both existing and prospective customers of both companies.
Ben Mendoza, CEO of MDSL, said: “There are numerous user cases where combining TEM and mobile device lifecycle management brings greater value to customers than the simple sum of the parts. By tightly integrating the “over-the-air” functions of FAMOC into the TEM user portal and workflow toolset, we can enable users and administrators to visualise and manage the use and security of global mobile devices in real-time. That includes tablet devices, as well as phones based on the Android, IOS (Apple), Symbian, RIM and Windows Mobile platforms – all from a single intuitive interface”.
He continued: “We are delighted to be partnering with FancyFon in a collaboration which will see significant benefits for MDSL Smart TEM users, who will now have the additional functionality of mobile device lifecycle management at their fingertips. We have always understood that Mobile Device Management was the next logical step in extending the functionality of the MDSL Smart TEM product suite, but were determined to ensure the right “fit”, to guarantee the seamless integration, breadth of product offering and levels of service our customers have come to expect. We have found those qualities in FancyFon and its product suite”.
Dietmar Fuchs, Chief Operating Officer of FancyFon said: “We are very pleased indeed to be working with MDSL to integrate FAMOC into their TEM solution. The resulting enhanced capabilities will ensure customers are best placed to tackle significant issues such as “consumerisation”, where the proliferation of mobile devices entering the corporate workspace is generating major problems of scale, security and management.”
