 recent Gartner Magic Quadrant analysis on managed remote-access and mobility services in the U.S. listed Orange Business Services as a Visionary in this market, playing a key role in the development of future mobile services. According to Eric Paulak, managing vice president, Gartner Research: “The enterprise mobility market today is highly fragmented, with companies struggling to assemble the right combination of mobility management tools in order to leverage the substantial investment they have made in mobile capabilities. Corporations need to take a hard look at all of their mobility costs, and start focusing on how their mobility solutions address end-user productivity which provides greater business value.”

Mobile Office reduces the complexity and inefficiencies of the fragmented environment facing the knowledge worker on-the-go: juggling between different communication equipment found in an office, home and mobile workplace. It is not uncommon for the end-user to have to integrate all of the various components to have them work together. With Mobile Office, knowledge workers benefit from a fully managed and integrated mobility solution, provided to them with remote access services, corporate applications and the right level of security, all supported by a local help desk.

In many cases, IT organizations do not have the right tools to effectively manage mobile devices, control costs and ensure security compliance. Mobile Office’s integrated mobility management tools help to not only reduce costs, but also improve compliance and minimize risk exposure. Mobile Office is unique in that it offers a complete mobile management ecosystem – infrastructure, services and device management – throughout the end-user utilization life cycle.

“Other service providers offer only pieces of the mobile enterprise equation," said Diana Leonard, senior vice president of the Americas, Orange Business Services. “With Mobile Office, Orange Business Services delivers a wireless convergence solution, bringing all the pieces together for the end user and the IT management organization. The Mobile Office end user gets the right mobility tools, right away, with greater security, lower total cost of ownership and less demand on IT organizations. Mobile Office delivers a level of innovation and integrated service that redefines the landscape of the U.S. mobile enterprise market.”
