Mformation's flagship product line, MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER, is a comprehensive suite of mobile device management (MDM) software that is designed to help mobile operators remotely manage and control a variety of mobile devices (including cellular phones, PDAs, and smartphones) and the data on them. The suite includes separate products for GSM configuration management, CDMA configuration management, software/application management, firmware management (FOTA), remote device and service diagnostics, security management, and customer experience monitoring.
The company's original focus was on the management of wireless devices for enterprises, with software solutions that were sold directly to enterprises. Currently, the company offers an enterprise management product as part of the MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER suite that enables mobile operators to provide their enterprise customers with a customized self-care environment via a SaaS (software as a service) delivery model.
The MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER for WiMAX product, introduced in 2008, provides OMA DM-based WiMAX device management, enabling operators and service providers to activate, provision and manage WiMAX-capable devices and services remotely, just as they do cellular devices and services. This product is part of Sprint’s 2008 launch of its Xohm WiMAX service.
