CEO John Marshall sees the mobile device management or the MDM market consolidating into a few leading vendors in the next few years. He says BYOD is having an explosive impact on demand for MDM.
“This new smartphone and tablet market is still in the earliest stages of development. That means management and protection are also in the earliest stages as well.
