Perlego adds software for managing workers' smartphones

August 1, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- After acquiring smart phone management technologies from strategic partner Action Engine, Perlego Systems says it has added software that allows carriers and enterprises to control and protect applications and data across all smart phones in their network.

Perlego Mobile Device Manager, Enterprise Edition enables administrators to manage and deploy a fleet of smart phones. Administrators can seamlessly migrate data from one device to another, regardless of model or carrier, according to Perlego. If a phone is lost or stolen, the device can quickly and easily be backed up, hard reset and wiped clean or disabled over-the-air (OTA).

The suite consists of three components: Perlego OTA Backup, Perlego OTA Update and Perlego OTA Remote.

Perlego OTA Backup saves and restores the valuable personal information stored on a wireless device, including contacts, calendar entries, images, memos and to-do items - all over-the-air. If a smart phone device is lost or stolen, personal or proprietary data can be easily restored to any replacement device, regardless of brand, model or operating system, according to Perlego.

Perlego OTA Update delivers the administration and presentation of a custom-branded mobile catalog of downloadable files. By enhancing the discovery of software updates, Perlego OTA Update makes it easy for users to locate desired content for download and deliver software upgrades to devices in the field.

OTA Remote allows administrators to issue commands directly to devices in the field. Using a web-based console, Perlego OTA Remote allows carriers and businesses to execute any command a user can initiate manually. If a device is lost, Perlego OTA Remote allows the device to be backed up, hard reset, wiped clean or even disabled.
