COUNTERPATH'S BRIA MOBILE SOFTPHONE APPLICATIONS NOW CERTIFIED BY FOUR LEADING MDM VENDORS

CounterPath Corp.'s Bria mobile softphone applications have received certification from leading mobile-device-management and enterprise-mobility-management vendors AirWatch, Citrix, Good Technology and MobileIron. Bria will be included in their on-line galleries. With this, businesses that have deployed MDM/EMM solutions offered by any one of these four leading vendors can purchase and deploy CounterPath's softphone technology in a secure, managed way that complies with their information-technology policies.

IT administrators rely on MDM solutions to provision applications installed on mobile devices, to monitor their performance and to manage various security threats that arise in the mobile environment. According to Research and Markets, the mobile-device-management applications market is expected to grow from $1.01-billion in 2013 to $3.94-billion in 2019 at an estimated compound annual growth rate of 26.8 per cent (1).

AirWatch, Citrix, Good Technology and MobileIron represent four of the five MDM vendors identified as market leaders in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for enterprise mobility management suites (2). Together these four companies serve some of the largest enterprises in the world, including ABN AMRO, AT&T, Barclays, BestBuy, Delta Airlines, ING, Merck, Mitsubishi Electric, Nationwide, New York Life, Skanska, Toyota, the Blackstone Group, the United States Air Force, the United States Army and Vodafone.

"These certifications and our relationships with AirWatch, Citrix, Good Technology and MobileIron represent a significant new opportunity for CounterPath," said Todd Carothers, executive vice-president, marketing and products, CounterPath. "We have recently established commercial relationships with a number of global enterprises in the financial services and government verticals that require this certification before deploying our mobile application broadly in their organization."
