What does Visage Mobile do?
Visage Mobile is a leading enterprise mobility management company that enables businesses to take control of their mobile budget and inventory and set policies that govern employee usage of smartphones and mobile broadband. Its flagship product, MobilityCentral, is a cloud-based SaaS application capable of quickly analyzing data from thousands of employees across multiple carriers. Its customizable reports and actionable metrics are displayed in user-friendly graphs, giving companies unprecedented insight into their mobile activity. which provides usage data on over 50,000 U.S. employees spread across all geographies and industry verticals.
How are they different?
We are unique in our delivery model and time to implementation. Most businesses can be up and running in days rather than weeks, which is traditionally the time it takes to manage a businesses mobility. Our competitors are mainly BPO services/consulting companies that focus on telecom. They are known by the acronym TEM – Telecom expense management. We do not find competitors taking the same technology and value proposition approach (i.e., cloud-based SaaS app) as we do at this point.
Why could Visage Mobile be BIG?
According to market research firms, there are currently 20 million corporate-liable smartphones in use in the United States, representing 13 percent penetration of the total U.S. workforce. By 2012 this penetration rate is expected to increase to 20 percent, led by IT’s adoption of mobility management tools to help manage cost and complexity.. Our product helps IT departments of corporate America deal with these trends/challenges. On the one hand there is a push to enable the employees of a corporation to be more productive by having access to corporate apps while they are on the go via mobile broadband and smartphones. We address this chaotic environment where these devices are growing like weeds by providing a cloud-based application that brings together 3 sets of data – employee/HR data, device data and carrier billing data – and with data providing metrics/analytics/budgeting/visibility/policy setting so that an IT department can get control and manage to a budget.
How they plan to make money:
See above. The more smartphones that are adopted and the more the workforce becomes mobile – the more businesses are going to need a solution that manages their mobility quickly and easily to save cost and support policies.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
