LG APIs Fully Supported, Enriched by SOTI Advanced MDM Feature Set

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA and SOTI Inc., a world leader in enterprise mobile device management (MDM) solutions, announced today that the next generation of LG 4G LTE mobile devices - starting with Intuition(TM) by LG, will incorporate SOTI's award-winning 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. SOTI's MobiControl solution on Intuition by LG will be on display at booth #834 at the annual Gartner ITxpo Symposium in Orlando, Fla.

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(TM) 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 optimized experience of deploying security functionalities and knowing that enterprise data is being kept safer."

With more than 10,000 enterprise deployments and millions of devices managed globally, SOTI empowers organizations to enhance enterprise mobility and enable Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives. Backed by over a decade of experience, MobiControl enables organizations to address major challenges as their mobile device deployments grow in size and complexity.
