Push mobility solutions provider VISTO has completed the acquisition of Good Technology from Motorola. Going forward, the combined companies will operate together under the name Good Technology.
VISTO says its acquisition of Good Technology from Motorola is the catalyst to create a powerful new integrated mobility solutions company with strong enterprise, government and consumer offerings.
VISTOs patented underlying technology provides an open, real-time synchronization platform for a broad range of applications, including collaboration and social networking solutions. The addition of Goods platform expands the breadth of the combined companys portfolio, offering the whole spectrum of device-independent solutions to operators, handset manufacturers, large, medium and small enterprises, governments and consumers.
“We have doubled our market penetration and are the clear alternative to closed, vendor-biased solutions from Microsoft and RIM,” says CEO Brian A. Bogosian. “We now provide one global, open and secure platform that gives Government, IT (sic) and consumers complete freedom of choice around handsets and OS in a fragmented mobile device market. This strategic initiative places the new Good at the forefront of this rapidly expanding market, with access to any messaging, collaboration software, media, enterprise application or consumer content.
The combined company will have a significantly extended global reach. With the benefit of Goods strong relationships with US operators, and extensive base of enterprise customers, including a high concentration of the Fortune 50, the new Good Technology will serve leading operators and enterprise customers throughout the US and in more than 100 different countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.”
