Soberman Capitalizes on Trellia Policy Enforcement for 3G & Secure Wi-Fi Deployment


MONTREAL, Oct 21, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
TrelliaNetworks (www.trellia.com),
a provider of mobile policy management software, today announced that
Soberman LLP, one of North America's leading
accounting firms, deployed Trellia's solution
to enable seamless and secure 3G and Wi-Fi access for its mobile
accountants. The firm decided to leverage wireless networks to increase
customer responsiveness and workforce productivity.
Soberman LLP is currently ranked as one of the premier chartered
accounting firms in Canada; providing a complete range of high quality
financial and business advisory services to a diverse client base.
Soberman's IT department supports over 150
mobile accountants, in its tax division, that require anytime access to
the corporate network on the road, at customer sites and from home.
"The policy enforcement and seamless
user experience delivered by Trellia's
solution made it a central component of our mobility strategy",
said Soberman's COO Susan Hodkinson. Trellia
was deployed to automate network selection, authentication and IT policy
enforcement resulting in a "zero-click"
mobile experience. "Our users are ecstatic
that they can just turn on their laptop and get to work anywhere,
without worrying about how to get connected or complying with corporate
IT policies".
"Soberman's
selection of Trellia is further validation that enterprises need policy
management and enforcement for the successful deployment of wireless
mobility" said Giovanni Forte, President and
CEO of Trellia. "Our solution is helping
enterprise IT departments unify
management of external and internal network access, resulting in a one-network
end user experience."

"Trellia is unique in the strength of its
policy enforcement offering. Due to the sensitive nature of the customer
data we work with, security and end user compliance are major concerns.
Wi-Fi access was entirely disabled at the bios level prior to this
project" said Robin Persaud, Senior Network
Engineer. "Trellia gave us full control on
Wi-Fi, so we felt comfortable deploying it. This stems from being able
to embed our corporate compliance requirements for mobility into the
Trellia solution."
