451 Group Positions BoxTone at Forefront of BlackBerry Management & Monitoring Software Space
Columbia, MD (PRWEB) September 19, 2007 -- BoxTone(R), the expert in mobile user management, today announced that The 451 Group, the technology industry analyst company focused on the business of enterprise IT innovation, has released a 451 Market Insight Service report positioning BoxTone at the forefront of the BlackBerry management and monitoring software sector.
Titled "BoxTone sees a road to gold through BlackBerry mobile user management," the September 11, 2007 report was written by one of the industry's most influential experts on mobility: Tony Rizzo, The 451 Group's Research Director for Mobility. The report quickly drew parallels between BoxTone's rapid success attracting more than 80 large enterprise clients with 200,000 BlackBerry users under management, and Research in Motion's (RIM) steep rise in enterprise deployments.
"Being at the right place at the right time with the right product mix - that's an apt description of BoxTone and its platform. Having chosen to focus on RIM, it has the platform capability to match the challenges large vendors need to tackle. With RIM's enterprise growth exploding, BoxTone is well placed," said the report.
BoxTone for BlackBerry's comprehensive approach to management and monitoring was clearly a positive for the report's author.
"Tracking every individual user's experience (and problems when they arise) across multiple geographic locations, domains, servers (including BlackBerry Enterprise Server/MDS), internal enterprise networks and applications is nontrivial," noted the report. "Nor is the need to potentially scale to tens of thousands of users. These front-line services in turn feed back to help desks, IT operations, engineering and software development departments and, of course, to management (where the ROI is measured)."
The report also served up this appraisal of the BlackBerry management and monitoring software competitive landscape: "We think of the competition as being best defined as an odd lot ... None of (them) offers a complete platform along the lines of the BoxTone platform ..."
Designed for organizations with users in multiple geographic regions -- and spread across multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino and multiple wireless carriers -- BoxTone for BlackBerry software enables the IT organization to collaboratively understand actual end-to-end performance; detect and respond faster to service level issues with less effort; and proactively manage resources and growth.
