PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dell Services today announced a new comprehensive line of services and solutions that will help enterprise customers achieve the benefits of mobile collaboration, computing and communications enhanced business processes. The new Enterprise Mobility Services comprise a portfolio of enterprise scale end-to-end solutions that encompass hardware, software, communications technologies and services, and back-end data center infrastructure and storage to support multi-carrier, multi-vendor mobile devices and operating systems.

The portfolio is an investment in advanced services to address strategic pain points that enterprises and CIOs are experiencing as critical challenges to their business as the work force becomes increasingly mobile. The Enterprise Mobility Services portfolio includes key assets and intellectual "know-how" in the areas of:

    --  Strategic Consulting - Services to establish an Enterprise Mobile
        Strategy: comprised of business consulting, tools, scenario assessment
        and cost benefit analysis, as well as implementation services for
        mobilization of workflows, business processes, mobile application
        development, end-to-end security, and networking.
    --  Mobile Device Management - Secure mobile lifecycle management services
        including provisioning, compliance, policy enforcement, asset
        management, application management, performance monitoring and usage.
    --  Telecom Expense Management - End-to-end industry best practice approach
        to management of voice, data, wireless, international roaming, and VoIP
        spend.
    --  Custom Application Development - Rapid-application development for
        emerging mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets with
        multi-platform, multi-carrier capabilities.
    --  Mobile Enterprise Application Platform - Design, build, and deploy based
        on the Dell Mobility Application Platform (DMAP) to mobilize business
        applications and processes across any user, device and location -- on
        any network or mobile device platform.
    --  Security & Compliance - Secure mobile enterprise solutions for customers
        on both personal and corporate devices that deliver virtual and secure
        access to enterprise applications from any device.

Dell's Enterprise Mobility Services will be deployed in North America and the U.K. first followed by expansion into EMEA and APJ regions.

Industry analysts concur that smartphones and tablets are expected to see future increased and substantial use in the enterprise. More people will be using personal or employer-issued mobile devices for work, but no single operating system or platform is likely to dominate the market. Enterprise Mobility Services is designed to deliver all the benefits of mobility without limiting end-user choice by delivering solutions that are secure, manageable, scalable and open to all mobile operating systems.
