MobileIron today announced that it won the Judge’s Choice awards for Best in Show and Best Business Application at the Under the Radar Mobility 2009 conference on November 19. The judges were impressed with MobileIron’s strong value proposition; its ability to solve real enterprise customer pain points, such as securing and provisioning iPhones at scale; and its demonstrated customer traction across industries.

MobileIron’s innovative Virtual Smartphone Platform solves the security, cost, and usability problems CIOs and end-users face as smartphones crash into the enterprise. Smartphones are rapidly becoming a primary computing platform but are creating new challenges for IT departments. These problems include:

• Multiple operating systems including iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm webOS and Android;
• Company data moving onto smartphones; and
• Unexpected and high wireless bills.

The MobileIron Virtual Smartphone Platform solves these problems by providing a central view of smartphone data and activity. IT departments can get smartphone operations under control quickly while also cutting wireless bills by up to 20 percent.

“Our goal from the beginning was to work hand-in-hand with our customers to develop a platform to solve real-world problems today and tomorrow,” said Bob Tinker, CEO of MobileIron. “We and our customers are honored to be recognized by the Under the Radar judges.”

Under the Radar is an event for dealmakers from global carriers, brands, media companies, and handset manufacturers responsible for helping their companies leverage new mobile technology and innovation in the fast-evolving digital landscape. At the one-day showcase, 25 hand-selected disruptive mobile companies had six minutes to pitch their product to a panel of industry experts, along with an audience of early adopter technology insiders.
