to provide over-the-air (OTA) mobility management for smart phones. Under the agreement, Telwares will deliver Perlego Horizons™ mobile device lifecycle management technology as part of the broader Telwares Mobility Lifecycle Management solution. The Telwares Mobility Lifecycle Management solution also includes contract negotiation, audit and optimization, inventory and invoice management, device and plan procurement, help desk support and device disposal and recycling.

The OTA Device Management solution enables firms to administer and manage inventory of corporate-liable smart phones, regardless of carrier or platform, while protecting against corporate data falling into the wrong hands. Through OTA Device Management, enterprises derive benefits that include:

• Data Assurance and Continuity: The solution facilitates back up of corporate data while providing for remote data wipe immediately when a device is reported stolen or lost. The secured data can then be restored to a new device in minutes, minimizing downtime.
• Efficiency: Large corporate wireless fleets usually employ multiple administrators or extensive and repeated processes to physically provision a device each time one is deployed or modified. This labor-intensive provisioning is radically simplified through the device management solution. Commands are sent over the air and can be silently installed eliminating the time wasted by the user having to take the device out of the field.
• Scalability: The solution represents a means for distributing corporate applications and streamlines the provisioning of data, even if the device is on a different operating platform (for example, Palm to Windows Mobile). Whether deploying five or 50,000 devices the new OTA Device Management solution makes it easy to configure and mange the entire mobile fleet.

“Our new OTA Device Management solution reflects our commitment to best-in-class mobility lifecycle management," said Bill Walsh, Telwares chief operating officer. "Giving our clients the ability to have better control of their mobile applications and devices without inconveniencing the end user is a powerful part of the value we provide."

”We are very pleased to be working with Telwares to deliver a complete device management solution that will be integrated with their own solutions and offered to their customers,” said Todd Ostrander, Perlego CEO. “Perlego Horizons will help Telwares accelerate the deployment of new devices and provide advanced data services.”
