GEMA and Samsung Enter Global Partnership on Feb 24, 2014 Strategic Alliance Enhances Global Managed Mobility Services for Multinationals
The Global Enterprise Mobility Alliance (GEMA), the world's leading independent joint venture providing enterprise mobility managed services to multinational organisations, today announced that it has entered into a strategic global partnership with Samsung Electronics.
GEMA and its members offer global firms a complete enterprise mobility solution and service lifecycle anywhere in the world, tailored to local needs covering:
Enterprise mobility professional services
Device deployment (including device imaging, scalable logistics and end user support)
Enterprise mobility management and implementation
24/7 end user helpdesk and multi-language support
Expense management, analytics and reporting
Under the terms of the partnership, all current and prospective GEMA Alliance members, as Samsung KNOX Platinum partners, will be authorised to resell Samsung products in their respective territories, including Samsung KNOX-enable mobile devices.
Additionally, the partnership will cover the provision of Samsung Care services, professional services and joint sales and marketing activities globally in the coming months.
GEMA's CEO Nicholas McQuire said: As GEMA continues to rapidly expand our member footprint and provide unique in-country enterprise mobility services to global firms, our exciting partnership with Samsung will help our customers and prospects achieve greater value from mobility in their firms and enable our members to continue to provide best-in-class local services in their countries of focus as well. As the pace of consumerisation of IT continues to accelerate worldwide, we look forward to growing our partnership with Samsung across the GEMA footprint to help multinationals further place Samsung technology and Android at the heart of their mobility strategies.
Kris Snyder, GEMA's Chairman and CEO of its US founding member Vox Mobile said: GEMA was founded to address clear gaps in global enterprise mobility market that historic business models cannot address. As a founding member, Vox Mobile represents the North American territory for GEMA and it is our customer demand for secure android mobile computing that compels and excites us into this strategic partnership.
Charile Hou, CEO of NationSky, GEMA's Chinese founding member added: As a founding member of GEMA, we are pleased that Samsung has chosen to work with the GEMA alliance. Samsung is already highly recognised in the market of China, and today Chinese enterprise customers see great demand for a mobile security solution just like Knox. We really look forward to working closely with Samsung KNOX in China, and firmly believe that Samsung Knox + NQSky MDM, as a comprehensive mobile security solution, will meet the demand and capture the heart of enterprise customers in China.
Rob Orr, Vice President of Europe Telecommunications Operations at Samsung Electronics Europe said: We are thrilled to announce our partnership with GEMA and look forward to combining their expertise, capabilities and reach to serve millions of public sector and enterprise customers worldwide. There is a need for secure Android in business communications and with GEMA implementing the Samsung KNOX platform this partnership will provide a solution for customers in emerging and developed markets eager for a robust mobility solution to meet the demands of today and tomorrow.
