New Client Factory in Hungary Enables Speedy Delivery Of SyncShieldŽ Advanced Device Management

SyncShield® enables the management of the devices centrally and silently Over-The-Air (OTA), enhancing both the security and flexibility of mobile device deployments.

The Advanced Mobile Device Management features of SyncShieldŽ bring significant benefits to service providers and enterprises by reducing the amount of money, time and other resources required in mobile device asset management and administration.

SyncShieldŽ is based on the Device Management standard of Open Mobile Alliance (OMA DM), a forum of over 200 key players in mobile device development, deployment and management. SyncShieldŽ supports the OMA DM 1.2 standard, and introduces also an advanced feature set with functions that improve usability and security of mobile device management. SyncShieldŽ supports over 93% of all smartphones sold globally today. The newest SyncShieldŽ client brings these benefits available to Symbian 3rd edition smartphones, including new Nokia E-series business phones.

To ensure agile delivery of new clients to upcoming smartphones and new platforms Capricode has established a client factory in Budapest, Hungary, in cooperation with Agil Eight.

“Mobile devices such as smartphones are a necessity for today's mobile workers with their advanced applications, enhanced memory capabilities, and varying connectivity possibilities (WiFi, 3.5G, Bluetooth, etc.). However, this has substantially increased the need for support and security. Enterprises and end-users have an absolute requirement for mobile Over-The-Air mobile device management to deal with application administration and security threats, to the content and the privacy of the end-users and their organizations”, says Jonny Kaarlenkaski, CEO of Capricode.

There is a rapidly growing market for mobile device management solutions. “By the end of this decade the market for mobile device management is going to be huge”, notes Kaarlenkaski. “Capricode has invested heavily on producing the best possible advanced mobile device management solution. SyncShieldŽ utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and has advanced features that offer our customers unique mobile device management benefits.”

In order to respond to rapid changes in the device market and to provide speedy releases of new clients, Capricode has established a client factory in Budapest, Hungary. The client factory is a result of cooperation with Agil Eight. “The capability to deliver clients to the newest mobile device and platform versions before they even enter consumer markets is a significant competitive advantage. A key SyncShield's advantage is the agile delivery of clients for multiple mobile device platforms, such as Symbian, UIQ, WindowsCE and Linux. Capricode can offer a client for new devices and device platforms in a just few weeks” says CEO Jyri Pyrrö from Agil Eight. “The new client factory will accelerate Capricode's agility even more” he continues. “We have found exceptional technical expertise and specialists in Budapest and this combined with its central location in relation to European markets this made it a great location for the client factory” Pyrrö noted.
