Carl
Rodrigues, Founder, President and CEO of SOTI Inc., began the company
in 1995 as an entrepreneur and has grown SOTI as a privately owned
corporation. Today, SOTI has more than 80,000 customers and 300+
partners in over 150 countries.
As
the leader of SOTI, Rodrigues has always been an innovative and
forward-focused thinker revolutionizing the mobile device management
(MDM) sector by equipping mobile field forces around the world with
a robust, all-in-one solution in MobiControl. Many of SOTI's accomplishments
can be attributed to his in-depth knowledge of the industry, his
belief that applications must be simple and intuitive to use, and
his unwavering determination to build products that exceed customer
expectations. He maintains a comprehensive awareness of the competition
and an understanding of current and future trends. He has been a
pioneer in the MDM field, transforming the way mobile devices are
understood and used, from Pocket Controller-Pro to the feature-rich
SOTI MobiControl. Recently, under Rodrigues' watchful eye, SOTI
released PC Pro for BlackBerry with support for additional OSs already
in the development pipeline.
Rodrigues
began his venture with Pocket Controller-Pro: a consumer-based solution
that allows users to use their desktop PC to control their mobile
device. Pocket Controller-Pro has won several Best Software awards,
including the Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine's Best Software
Award every year since 2002.
MobiControl
is SOTI's enterprise MDM solution available to all vertical markets
around the world. SOTI MobiControl has received numerous accolades,
including the recent 2010 Microsoft Worldwide Mobility Solution
of the Year Award as well as being a two-time winner of the Microsoft
IMPACT Award for Mobility Solution of the Year. MobiControl has
become the leading solution in MDM, and, with Rodrigues' leadership,
the once simple helpdesk solution has transformed into an advanced
toolset supporting mobile device management, security, remote control
and tracking functionality.
Rodrigues
has led SOTI to over 100% year-over-year revenue growth, over the
last five years and has doubled the company size in the last year
alone. Since inception, SOTI has been a profitable business without
needing external funding or investors. SOTI boasts many product
awards and prominent partnerships from industry leaders including
Microsoft, Motorola, Intermec, Honeywell and many more. With Rodrigues'
management and vision, SOTI has become an industry leader and continues
to grow and expand in both its product offerings and international
reach.
