IBM to acquire Fiberlink

IBM is continuing to invest in its MobileFirst strategy with its latest acquisition. Fiberlink’s MaaS360 solution will provide the insight and security many organizations are seeking in order to deal with the increase in mobile device usage in their organizations. Nucleus has seen many organizations struggle with measuring the ROI of BYOD, and with this acquisition, IBM is expanding the vision for enterprise mobility management, responding to the concerns of risk, and answering some of those BYOD challenges. Nucleus expects that, with BYOD being the standard, more and more organizations will be looking to solutions such as IBM’s MobileFirst offerings to deal with these mobile management, application deployment and security realities.
