Trellia Networks Launches Hosted Enterprise Mobile Policy Management Solution


MONTREAL --(Business Wire)-- Trellia Networks (News - Alert) (www.trellia.com), a leading provider of mobile policy management (MPM) software, today announced the launch of its MPM hosted server platform.

Trellia's MPM hosted server platform, version 5.0, enables enterprises to leverage a single, cloud-based solution to centrally automate and enforce mobile access policies across public, private, wired and wireless networks. It transforms mobile access into an efficient, policy-driven process that provides end-users a simple, "zero-click" experience.



"CIOs have predictable costs, strong security and compliance with corporate policies within the four walls of the enterprise. But this level of control is very difficult to achieve with the surge of hundreds, even thousands of mobile workers, usually left on their own when it comes to connecting to the Internet or back to corporate data and applications," says Giovanni Forte, President and CEO of Trellia. "Every single mistake by the mobile worker leads to cost, security and compliance implications for the business. The cost and impact of those mistakes related to access options, such as Wi-Fi, 3G and VPNs, and increased help desk support are definitely top of mind for CIOs." In addition to Trellia's existing mobile access policy plug-ins for data cost optimization, mobile data security and end-usage control, version 5.0 offers the following new plug-ins: Reporting and audit plug-in: Delivers unparalleled visibility of mobile workforce data usage patterns across LAN, Wi-Fi and 3G to enable the enterprise to cater the mobile access solutions available to its workforce, ensure that the best network is selected for optimal application delivery, better negotiate and select data plans with 3G network providers for expense management, identify common areas of compliance breaches, and control specific cost policies.

Gobi™ plug-in: Designed for enterprises adopting Qualcomm's (News - Alert) 3G Gobi technology to minimize total cost of ownership of embedded 3G laptop deployments with the control and automation available through the Trellia MPM plug-ins. Enterprises already using Gobi technology, or planning to migrate to Gobi technology, will be able to leverage Trellia's MPM to centrally manage 3G for all brands and models of laptops, and for both embedded and removable technologies, through one solution.


Trellia will be demonstrating how its mobile policy management solution works with Qualcomm's Gobi technology at the upcoming Gartner (News - Alert) Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida, from October 18 to 22. The exhibit will focus on how to efficiently deploy and manage 3G-related initiatives with a cost control, security and user experience perspective.

"The embedded multi-mode 3G connectivity delivered by Qualcomm's Gobi solution presents a wide range of opportunities to collaborate with companies such as Trellia, bringing greater value to enterprises whose workforces need to be reliably and securely connected," says Beau Beck, senior director of business development for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "We are happy to have key participants with us at Gartner Symposium ITxpo, helping demonstrate how our solutions working together are removing major CIO hurdles for mobility initiatives and maximizing their return on their 3G deployments".

"We're extremely excited about the MPM 5.0 platform launch and our work with Qualcomm", says Raffi Tchakmakjian, Director of Product Management at Trellia. "As our customers are increasing their mobility initiatives, our new plug-ins become indispensable to ensure successful, secure and cost-effective deployments. The hosted nature of the new platform allows for instant, remote configuration and mobile policy distribution for our customers, and creates new service opportunities for our solution partners.
