For immediate release

New Zealand Government selects leading dedicated enterprise mobility solutions provider as part of its TaaS supplier panel

The New Zealand Government earlier today announced the selection of Mobile Mentor to its Telecommunications-as-a-Service (TaaS) supplier panel to provide the government with mobile security solutions and managed mobility services.

The TaaS supplier panel enables NZ government agencies to easily access competitive and innovative telecoms services and to benefit from the innovation and leadership of smaller specialist providers such as Mobile Mentor.

Under the managed security section of the TaaS contract, Mobile Mentor will provide software and sevices for mobile device management (MDM), mobile policy management and mobile threat management. Threat management is the automatic detection, review and remediation of malicious apps via an app reputation scanning engine that is integrated into the MDM platform. The service also includes daily security vulnerability monitoring and recommendations for action.

Mobile Mentor has extended its long-term partnerships with AirWatch and Revera for the security software and hosting services to meet the stringent security requirements required for government.

The managed mobility services include a specialist 24x7 mobile service desk, mobile asset management, mobile expense management and app management. App management is the distribution, support and lifecycle management of enterprise apps.

Together, these services enable government agencies to maximise the value received from their investment in mobility and ensure that their environment is secure in the face of an ever-changing mobile threat landscape.

“Being 100% focused on enterprise mobility allows us to the depth and specialisation that government requires in mobility”, Denis O’Shea, Mobile Mentor CEO, said. “We are very pleased that the New Zealand Government recognises the value of having Mobile Mentor on the panel”.

Mobile fleet management

The mobile fleet management app, which comes as part of Mobile Mentor’s managed mobility service, provides NZ government customers with real-time visibility of mobile device compliance, mobile expense trends and outliers, end-user satisfaction and SLA management of their mobile fleet.
