Ericsson ERIC today announced an agreement with SAP SE SAP
to securely deliver network-enabled cloud solutions, which will provide users
with secure access to their business apps and content on mobile devices. For
the growing Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) market which is expected to
reach $2.1 billion by 2016 (Radicati Group), this joint offering will help
businesses across all industries to better manage and secure organizational
effectiveness and employee productivity. Ericsson will offer SAP® Mobile
Secure, a set of cloud-based solutions, combined with an IT managed service
offering, expanding its portfolio of services available for its 400+ mobile
network operators.
This offering combines the power and simplicity of SAP Mobile Secure with the
stability and scalability offered by Ericsson IT managed services and service
delivery capabilities. Worldwide, Ericsson manages networks that serve 600
million subscribers and additionally provides managed services for networks
that serve 1 billion subscribers.
With this offering, an enterprise of any size can, within minutes, bolster its
overarching mobile strategy with a comprehensive EMM solution that helps
promote, publish and configure apps for all stakeholders - both on non-managed
and managed devices. As these employees, business partners and consumers
benefit from the apps, the integrated mobile device management (MDM), mobile
app management (MAM) and mobile app security components will protect the data
and provide valuable analytics that enable the enterprise to continuously
optimize its mobile strategy.
"With its heritage in mobile security, SAP is known for its ability to develop
flexible offerings that can be tailored to the needs of any enterprise," said
said Per Borgklint, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Support
Solutions, Ericsson. "With the increased focus of mobile workforce
productivity, this solution will enable fast deployment using the
software-as-a-service delivery model. By using this model, we can serve both
small enterprises that might not have expertise in IT security as well as the
Fortune 100 companies with complex needs that require more customization."
"As mobile network operators (MNOs) strive to support the changing mobile
needs for enterprises, the planned EMM solution from Ericsson and SAP will
allow them to better address these needs with faster time to market and
minimal infrastructure cost," said Rick Costanzo, executive vice president and
general manager, SAP Mobile Solutions. "While demand for mobile traffic is
increasing, controlling the costs of their network and driving innovation will
be the keys to success for mobile network operators. Through Ericsson's
long-term relationships with every major telecom operator worldwide and SAP's
proven ability to deliver the most complete and scalable cloud-based mobile
security solution, this collaboration will provide MNOs with new service
offerings, new revenue streams and stronger ties with their customers."
The Ericsson and SAP agreement delivers a solution that addresses the security
needs of today's enterprises, which are increasingly going mobile.
Furthermore, it is aimed at enabling operators to enhance their end-to-end
offering and capture new revenues from their existing base of enterprise
customers.
