ARMONK, N.Y., Jan.
17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Bell Canada today announced they are joining
forces to offer IBM MobileFirst for iOS market-ready enterprise
applications for iPad, iPhone or Apple Watch.
Canada's largest communications provider, Bell will combine its
expertise in mobility services with IBM's robust suite of apps
tailored to meet the specific needs of professionals across
multiple industries, including energy and utilities, government,
manufacturing, retail and more.
"In every industry, enterprise mobility is a top priority and
considered a critical factor in digital transformation. Our
made-for-business apps are changing how individuals, job roles and
entire enterprises do work," said Mahmoud
Naghshineh, General Manager, Apple Partnership, IBM. "By
combining Bell's network leadership with our expertise in
consulting and system integration, Canadian businesses now have a
powerful mobile platform that improves business processes and
elevates on-the-go employee productivity."
"Bell is excited to be the only Canadian provider to offer IBM
MobileFirst for iOS apps, helping businesses become more efficient
and productive by taking greater advantage of their mobile iOS
devices," said Nauby Jacob, Vice President of Products and Services
at Bell Mobility. "Supported by secure and reliable connectivity on
Canada's largest and fastest broadband wireless network, and access
to Bell's broad suite of IoT solutions, enterprise customers can
further transform their business."
The made-for-business iOS apps are powered by IBM analytics and
leverage Bell's leading LTE mobile network to enable professionals
to easily retrieve real-time data and insights, empowering them to
make better and more informed decisions while in the field.
For example, first responders can tap into GPS data remotely to
determine both the location of an incident and the real-time
availability of other responders to most effectively manage an
emergency. In the retail space, buyers and planners can work more
effectively from the field with the ability to remotely monitor
inventory at different locations.
Businesses can benefit from IBM and Bell's extensive experience
in the Enterprise space. Large scale deployments can be quickly and
seamlessly customized and integrated with core enterprise data to
meet an organization's needs.
