Blue Turtle partners with Zenprise

Blue Turtle adds innovative secure mobile device management solutions to product portfolio.

Johannesburg, 29 Feb 2012

Blue Turtle Technologies (Blue Turtle) and Zenprise, the leader in secure Mobile Device Management (MDM), have announced that Blue Turtle is now a member of the Zenprise Partner Network. Together, Blue Turtle and Zenprise are now providing enterprises in southern Africa with the industry's only end-to-end, enterprise-grade MDM solution.

Today, companies of all sizes are grappling with how to implement security and maintain compliance across a wide variety of devices, ranging from iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Mobile. Protecting the mobile enterprise becomes more important with the rise in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. Combine this with the need for IT departments to ensure they are protecting not just devices, but also the network, applications and data, the need for a secure, end-to-end MDM solution is clear.

Features of Zenprise's MobileManager platform include an easy-to-use, strong user interface, comprehensive security features and support for every major smart device platform - iOS, Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile. Additionally, Zenprise has a large installed global customer base.

Michael Hutchinson, Infrastructure Product manager, Blue Turtle, comments: “We selected Zenprise because it provides the security, scalability, high availability and flexibility enterprises require across all major mobile platforms. Zenprise protects the mobile enterprise at all levels - from the device to the application to the network. The solution offers the first all-in-one solution that dynamically protects and automates mobile device management, delivering security, compliance, monitoring and problem diagnostics, inventory, and application control of business-critical applications and data anywhere in the mobile environment.”

The MobileManager platform is a robust set of security and management capabilities that provides enterprises with the necessary tools to meet today's evolving security and management challenges. Furthermore, the solution is easily installed and deployed. Management and administration can be done through remote access; therefore no additional costs are incurred for additional resources or expenses. Capabilities are delivered in an upgrade to the Device Manager module of MobileManager and are intended to provide IT departments with the tools required to better support across every major platform as these are adopted by enterprise firms.

European Channel Director Patrick Costello said: “We're proud to have Blue Turtle as a member of the Zenprise Partner Network. Blue Turtle's experience employing innovative software products, backed by 'best-practice' implementation services, make them an ideal partner. Together with Blue Turtle, we can enable enterprises to confidently embrace mobility and, as a result, drive significant business gain.”

Hutchinson concludes: “Companies have reported up to 25% reduction of their mobile TCO, increased customer service levels of up to 75% have been realised and 100% corporate compliance attained. Blue Turtle's leading solutions and services are supported by a team of highly skilled and experienced experts, with a proven track record of ROI and successfully managed implementations across all sectors, and Zenprise's award-winning flexible, scalable, end-to-end mobile device management (MDM) security solution, together assist organisations in securing smartphones and tablets in the enterprise.”
