ORANGE, Conn. -- Tangoe, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGO), a leading global provider of Communications Lifecycle Management (CLM) software and related services, today announced new integrated versions of its Mobile Device Management (Tangoe MDM) and Real-Time Telecom Expense Management (Tangoe rTEM) solutions. This integration allows enterprise customers to take advantage of new features including a single mobile client application, called Tangoe Mobile, for combined MDM and rTEM functionality, enhanced geo-fence policy enforcement capabilities, and a carrier plan optimization tool that identifies cost-effective carrier plan options.

“Many of Tangoe’s global enterprise customers are focused on growth via mobility in 2013, and they require real-time contextual awareness that optimizes mobile usage and protects their IP throughout the entire lifecycle of mobile devices and their applications,”said Al Subbloie, president, CEO, and founder of Tangoe. “The combined functionality of our market-leading MDM and rTEM solutions address these issues and provides our enterprise customers with increased control over mobile devices entering the enterprise as well as real-time visibility into employee usage.”

Tangoe Mobile combines Tangoe’s previous MDM and the rTEM client applications into a single, on-device application. The unified MDM/rTEM interface will be available for download via the App Store for iOS and via Google Play for Android, in early July 2013. Using Tangoe Mobile, end-users can manage applications, track usage compared to carrier plans, and receive usage notifications from IT. Tangoe Mobile also enables multiple geo-fence policies on each device, which are tied to location-based usage rules, allowing automatic policy enforcement based on real-time device location tracking. This provides significant benefits especially in the healthcare, financial services, and government sectors, where geo-based security is crucial.
