LG Electronics, SOTI Enhance MDM For Enterprises

LG Electronics USA and SOTI Inc., the enterprise mobile device management (MDM) solutions provider, have announced that the next generation of LG 4G LTE mobile devices starting with the LG Intuition, will incorporate SOTI’s MobiControl MDM solution.

SOTI leverages new LG APIs (application programming interfaces) and its exclusive Android+ APIs to create an enterprise-grade solution to help address even the most stringent compliance requirements.

With the increasing popularity of Android mobile devices for business, enterprises are facing pressure to effectively address concerns surrounding mobile security and manageability within the corporate environment. Working with LG, SOTI enables robust security functionalities by restricting the use of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Internet browser, screen capture and messaging. Hence, enterprise IT benefits from enhanced device manageability through the granular control of employees’ devices.

“Enterprises want optimum solutions to resolve issues related to mobile device security and manageability,” said Ki S. Kim, Corporate Vice President and head of Global Enterprise B2B Mobility Solutions at LG Electronics. “The LG-SOTI relationship will enable IT administrators and employees to reap the benefits of an optimised experience of deploying security functionalities and knowing that enterprise data is being kept safer.”
