Portugal Telecom to Deliver VeliQ mPaaS Solution across Southern Europe, Brazil, Latin America and Africa

By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor


The growing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has put tremendous pressure on enterprise network managers. IT departments are now being challenged to securely manage a variety of mobile devices and applications that constantly enter and leave the enterprise network.


Enterprises thus need powerful systems for securing mobile devices. This demand has created new opportunities for service providers to deliver enterprise mobility solutions to their customer base.

In response to this trend, Portugal Telecom (News - Alert) has joined hands with VeliQ to offer VeliQ’s mobility Platform as a Service solution (mPaaS) to its customers in Southern Europe, Brazil, Latin America and Africa.

The service will be delivered through Portugal Telecom’s hosted data center in Covilhã, Portugal, the company said.

 “The innovation that VeliQ has delivered allows us to offer our customers a world-class enterprise mobility solution in a cost effective fashion,” said Miguel Moreira, managing director of Portugal Telecom Sistemas de Informa (News - Alert)ção, in a statement. “Our customers are asking for cloud-based mobility solutions and as of today, we can offer them a complete mobility Platform as a Service.”

According to company officials, this development is in line with VeliQ’s ecosystem approach to accelerate, innovate and integrate into the cloud-based enterprise mobility market. As a result, VeliQ’s partners are able to provide their customers with advanced mobile technologies in an easy to use SaaS (News - Alert) model.

VeliQ’s mPaaS solution is designed to provide users with a highly scalable, multi-tenant SaaS based solution for mobile device management, application management, content management, security, development and deployment of mobile applications. The solution can be monitored and controlled via a single, unified console, integrating corporate back end systems such as Active Directory or enterprise data to provide complete mobility enablement.

“Organizations are increasingly recognizing that an enterprise mobility platform does not have to be provided as a cumbersome on premise solution,” said Alex Bausch, founder and CEO of VeliQ, in a statement.

“While employees continue to demand the ability to bring their own devices to the workplace, IT departments need a powerful, yet easy to deploy and use system for securing mobile devices, develop applications and distribute content,” Bausch added. “This allows companies to focus less on managing devices and instead focus more on enabling their mobile workforce.”
