DALLAS, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is once
again transforming how businesses operate. We will soon be
launching a platform that will take the complexity out of ordering,
managing and deploying applications and services.
Businesses want dynamic, on-demand tools and technology that
will grow with their changing needs. AT&T Business Console will
put choice and control of integrated mobility applications into the
hands of our customers.
We often hear about the challenges with mobility device
enrollment and deployment—from ordering and setting up to
distributing and managing updates after deployment. The process is
confusing and requires engagement from the end-user.
With the initial launch, AT&T Business Console will focus on
managing mobile applications and services. AT&T Business
Console is designed to work across Android, iOS and other mobile
operating systems. It simplifies the experience for AT&T
mobility devices, and can support devices from multiple wireless
carriers and Wi-Fi only devices. This meets the diverse needs of
our business customers who have been seeking an answer for
years.
With AT&T Business Console, businesses of all sizes that
operate both domestically and globally will have flexible, highly
secure self-service options.
As of 2016, businesses on average have deployed 10 to 16
off-the-shelf cloud applications on their employees' mobile
devices. This is up 20% from 20151 and we expect that
number to grow. Selecting and managing the applications for each
employee can be overwhelming.
"Our customers are on a journey to transform how, where and when
they do business," said Steve McGaw,
chief marketing officer, AT&T Business Solutions. "In support
of this transformation, we're giving customers the ability to
select, configure and manage their applications with AT&T
Business Console."
AT&T Business Console aligns with our shift to
virtualization and software defined networking (SDN). Collaboration
with Independent Software Vendors (ISV) and developers will let us
create and deploy content more easily to the end-user.
The power is truly in the network, not just the equipment or
marketplace. When you bring together ISVs, developers, software and
hardware, we can deliver a faster and agile experience.
Businesses aren't only changing the way they think of their core
network solutions, they're increasingly turning to AT&T to
address their network transformation through mobilization. And, we
can provide a true end-to-end network experience for these
customers. As AT&T Business Console evolves, it will make it
easier for businesses to manage all of their business and network
needs.
We'll share more on AT&T Business Console later this
year.
