MobileIron shows explosive growth in 2011

Yesterday MobileIron announced explosive customer growth and financial achievements for 2011. MobileIron increased its customer base by 600% year over year including adding 435 new enterprise customers in the last quarter. MobileIron closed the year with more than 100 of the Fortune 500 and Global 250 companies as customers. Bookings grew by more than 400% year over year and the company added over 130 new employees, doubling its size.

Rapid adoption of mobile devices and applications is driving the growth of the burgeoning Mobile IT market. IDC reports that over 80 million new smartphones and tablets entered enterprises in 2011 and forecasts that number will reach over 140 million by 2013. Trends such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) are making iPhones, iPads and Android devices corporate standards, and IT is now required to support multiple devices and operating systems. The ubiquity of smart devices is also driving an explosion of mobile enterprise apps.

MobileIron - v4.2 MR1 Now Available - Support for iOS 5

MobileIron has officially released their v4.2 MR1 code for the VSP for general availability.  This MR1 release is important in that it will allow all customers to support iOS 5 when Apple officially launches iOS 5 general availability.  This release will not enable any new iOS 5 product functionality, but rather allow for devices running iOS 5 to be recognized properly in the UI, and establish valid MDM relationships during the registration process. 

Devices running iOS 5 will not establish a successful MDM relationship against a VSP running v4.2 or earlier, so it is important to upgrade to the MR1 release prior to the official launch of iOS 5.

It's a busy time for MSC in the next few weeks making sure all our managed service customers are on this release by the time iOS 5 ships.  With your users able to take an update on go live day... is your company ready to move at consumer speed to go with it?  If not talk to us about a Mobility Managed service today.
