DALLAS, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced that it has been awarded the Frost & Sullivan 2009 North American Portfolio Leadership of the Year Award in Mobile Resource Management (MRM). The award recognizes AT&T's portfolio of MRM solutions for its broad array of features and functionality, high quality, innovation, brand awareness and customer scalability.

"AT&T has positioned itself to both customers and vendors as a high-value provider of MRM solutions," said Jeanine Sterling, Senior Mobile Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. "AT&T's best-in-class portfolio of MRM solutions provides a well-designed range of product and price options, allowing even the most price-sensitive customer to find a comfortable purchase point."

"Furthermore, AT&T's macro view and understanding of the MRM sector's overall device needs provide well-informed guidance to its device partners and a range of device options, as well as an array of integration and customization options to its customers – from out-of-the-box integration to templates to application platform support to total customization," added Sterling.

With more than a century of experience owning and operating one of the world's largest networks, AT&T is a global provider of solutions designed to automate MRM and to optimize the service delivery process for customers across a variety of industries. By providing real-time MRM infrastructure integrating wireless communications, location-based services, software applications, transaction processing and the Internet, MRM solutions from AT&T provide a highly secure, scalable, upgradeable, enterprise-class platform, offered in hosted, on-premise or hybrid environments that seamlessly connect mobile workforces to real-time corporate data on-demand.

The recipient of this award was selected based on a customized Decision Support Matrix (DSM), an analytical tool used by Frost & Sullivan to compare companies' performance relative to each other with an integration of quantitative and qualitative metrics. The DSM allows Frost & Sullivan research and consulting teams to objectively analyze each company's performance on each criterion relative to its top competitors, and assign performance ratings on that basis.
