MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- MobileIron, the first company to deliver virtualized smartphone management for the enterprise, has been picked by CIO Update as number one on their list of promising enterprise smartphone startups.

"CIO Update reflects that smartphones are an executive-level agenda item," said Bob Tinker, CEO of MobileIron. "We are honored to be selected as a company that allows CIOs to deliver on the productivity promise of smartphones, while balancing concerns about security and cost management."

As smartphone adoption has accelerated, IT departments face the difficulty of having less control over smartphones than other enterprise technologies. CIO Update concludes, "Since smartphones are much harder to manage and secure than laptops, IT needs a platform (and MobileIron wants to be that platform) to address these challenges and make smartphones an enterprise-ready computing platform."
