SANTA CLARA, Calif. May 27, 2008 -- Motorola, Inc.’s Good Technology Group today announced
that it is expanding
worldwide device support for Good’s mobile email, application access,
and over-the-air security and management solution to more than 300
device/carrier combinations. With more than 10,000 customers, Good is
extending its role as a leading provider of enterprise mobile computing
solutions for organizations that want a centralized solution that can
be deployed across multiple devices, carriers and mobile operating
systems worldwide.
“Good’s ability to run on multiple devices
allows us to offer our users greater device choice than other systems.
And from an IT perspective, the end-user and management experience is
consistent across devices, which makes support much easier,” said Rob
Mancini, program manager, Citywide Messaging Office of the Chief
Technology Officer for the Government of the District of Columbia. “The
fact that Good runs on any GSM or CDMA carrier also permits departments
and agencies to select the carrier that best fits their needs.”
Increased Functionality for Simplified Device Support
With
today’s device support update, Good has added functionality to help
ensure that each supported device on an enterprise’s network receives a
compatible version of Good’s client software. This simplifies the
provisioning process for IT professionals and helps ensure that users
have the best mobile experience possible by alerting them to
incompatibilities between their device and a particular Good client
software version. In addition Good has made available a device support
portal and user forum for IT administrators to lookup supported devices.
Worldwide Device Support Program – from the Shop Floor to the Corner Office
With
the expansion of the Good Worldwide Device Support program, Good now
supports smartphones from multiple manufacturers across all carriers
that offer these devices worldwide. Worldwide device support is now
available for the MOTO Q™ smartphone family, the Motorola MC35 and MC70
enterprise digital assistant (EDA) line, as well as select handhelds
from Palm, HTC, and Samsung. The Good Worldwide Device Support program
is in addition to Good’s existing certified device support programs
with carrier resellers such as AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Telstra, O2
and others.
“Enterprise mobility needs have greatly evolved
over the years. It began with the need for mobile email capabilities in
the executive suite. However, today, enterprises need an end-to-end
mobile computing solution that provides all the functionality of the
desktop experience across the entire spectrum of employees – wherever
they reside in the world and on whatever device they may be using.”
said Sue Forbes, senior director of marketing and product management,
Motorola Good Technology Group. “Good’s Worldwide Device Support
program provides a consistent user and IT management experience on
handhelds all the way from the shop floor to the corner office.”
