Sprint to Offer Mobility Management Services for Businesses

Sprint to offer services that help Businesses Simplify the Management of Cross-Carrier Mobile Assets

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (NYSE:S, news, filings) today announced the launch of Sprint Mobility Management, a comprehensive and cross-carrier suite of managed services that simplifies the complexities of mobility, helps businesses to maximize value for their mobile spend, and frees resources to be more productive and focus on the core business. Sprint Mobility Management puts businesses in control with security and policy management, and delivers the visibility needed to make smart mobility decisions by providing them with access to three leading mobile solution providers – Bluefish Wireless, Manage Mobility and Vision Wireless – giving Sprint a portfolio of services that can be targeted to customers’ unique requirements.

Sprint Mobility Management supplies businesses with a single tool that effectively manages expenses, troubleshooting and procurement for all end-users – across all carriers. By making it easier for businesses to monitor and manage an entire portfolio of mobile devices, services, applications and carriers, they can optimize communications investments and integrate mobility into business processes, services and products. In addition, businesses will be able to consolidate mobile spending within one user-friendly tool, provide a single contact for dedicated support and manage mobile assets from end to end via an intuitive Web portal. Sprint Mobility Management gives customers the tools to implement security services, policy tracking and enforcement for mobile assets, helping protect against security threats.

“The wide range of mobile devices and operating systems often makes it hard for vendors to cost-justify developing security tools for any specific hardware/operating system combination. Our multi-carrier approach will help Sprint Business customers effectively support and secure a broad range of mobile devices, from smartphones to tablets to laptops,” said Tom Roberts, vice president of business marketing-Sprint. “As businesses continue to incorporate mobility into all aspects of their core processes, this broad range of management and policy enforcement capabilities, available from our ecosystem of leading mobility management providers, will be an important asset to our business customers.”

“Sprint Mobility Management is another excellent example of our partner approach to meet the quickly evolving needs of today’s IT decision makers; one that will allow our customers to easily reconfigure devices, services and applications to reflect the changing enterprise mobility environment,” said Callie Merritt-Jones, director of channel partnerships-Sprint. “Sprint Business customers now get the benefit of top-notch professional management and innovative, hosted software from our partners Bluefish Wireless, Manage Mobility and Vision Wireless.”

Sprint Mobility Management is available through Sprint Business, which is comprised of sales, support, marketing and operations personnel solely dedicated to enterprise, small- and medium-sized business and public sector customers. Sprint delivers wireless, wireline and converged solutions for companies, drawing on its 3G and 4G wireless capabilities, push-to-talk network, Global IP network and growing portfolio of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) partners and solutions.
