RESTON, Va. and ATLANTA, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens Enterprise Communications and AirWatch today announced a partnership to simplify the implementation of mobile unified communications and managed mobility solutions as the new "bring your own device" (BYOD) reality continues to take hold.  AirWatch's comprehensive mobile security, device management and application management solution will be made available to customers with Siemens Enterprise Communications' innovative mobile unified communications (UC) and web collaboration solutions, making it easier for customers to deploy, manage and use mobile UC.

Enterprises have embraced the productivity benefits and improved team efficiencies from Siemens Enterprise Communications' OpenScape Mobile and OpenScape Web Collaboration. AirWatch, a global leader and innovator in Mobility Management, simplifies deployment, management and ongoing support for these tools across multiple device types and mobile operating systems from one single console.

"Partnering with AirWatch provides our customers with a proven solution to manage their mobile OpenScape solutions." 

"Our partnership with Siemens Enterprise Communications offers businesses a secure mobile device and application management tool that integrates into a world-class UC platform," said John Marshall, CEO, AirWatch.
