OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- (Business Wire)
Sprint (NYSE: S)today announced it has selected Movius as its
cloud-based platform that will soon give unprecedented flexibility to
businesses by enabling them to add a second line to employees’ business
or personal wireless devices (BYOD). This will be the first offering of
its kind for the enterprise – no other provider enables the simple
management of carrier-grade second line service that works cross-carrier
and across all wireless devices. The service is anticipated to be
launched in the first half of 2017.
“Movius’ patented technology and cloud-based platform will bring
incredible value to our customers,” said Sprint Business President Jan
Geldmacher. “We believe a second line on devices has enormous benefit to
both business and their employees. It will provide convenience to
individuals, while business entities will have the oversight and
analytics needed to assure that employees are being compliant with
company policies.”
Among the benefits Geldmacher cited is that businesses will be able to
save costs on devices, infrastructure, support and services. More
efficiency will be realized by simplifying mobility infrastructure
management. Individuals will be able to be more productive because of
the increased flexibility.
“We are proud to be working with Sprint on this industry disruptive
technology,” said Movius CEO Dominic Gomez. “This solution will
completely alter the enterprise mobility landscape, making it easier
than ever for businesses to shift to the mobile office of the future.”
