The Adoption of OMA Enablers over
Time

| (Click for a larger image) |
As a founding member of the Open Mobile Alliance
(OMA), InnoPath Software serves in a variety of
key roles in the development and adoption of technology
standards. InnoPath is an innovator and leader
in OMA – with
more than 70 OMA submissions and donations
of proprietary source code – and will
continue to contribute to future standards
initiatives. Unlike many vendors, InnoPath
supports all mandatory and optional OMA features
as specified. In a series of recent OMA-sponsored “test
fests,” InnoPath successfully demonstrated
interoperability between the company’s
OMA/MDM server and client, and OMA DM 1.2 compliant
clients and servers from multiple vendors.
To date, the company has certified more than
140 mobile handset models on its MDM solutions
from leading manufacturers worldwide, including
Alcatel, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson,
Sanyo and Siemens. InnoPath’s iMDM Solutions
Suites leverage OMA standards where available,
but also provide added functionality to deliver
fully integrated, end-to-end MDM solutions
for carriers and device manufacturers.
Importance of Mobile Device Management (MDM) Standards
 Mobile Device
Management (MDM) has quickly grown to serve a critical need within the industry,
with clear benefits for mobile operators and device manufacturers: increased
adoption of new services to drive revenue, reduced operational and support
costs, and improved customer satisfaction and loyalty. OMA interoperability
standards, however, are far from complete. Standards for firmware and configuration
updates continue to evolve, and no standard for mobile diagnostics has been
approved. While OMA standards provide for interoperability, device manufacturers
and/or carriers still must build device-specific clients to support the standards.
Future refinements and advancements in MDM and standards have become a core
requirement for cost-effectively coping with the meteoric growth of mobile
devices.
