Managed Mobility enables Telefónica’s multinational customers to increase their productivity and facilitates a business everywhere principle.

Madrid, November 27, 2014.- Telefónica, a leading provider of integrated communication solutions, has announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Managed Mobility Services.

The report defines “Visionaries” as having “an innovative and disruptive view of mobility and its effect on the enterprise; however, their service capabilities are highly dependent on the use of private-labeled subcontractors, and they frequently have limited service portfolios in terms of breadth and depth. Visionaries have an early mover advantage in providing project-based services, such as consulting, development and integration. Visionaries maintain the potential to quickly become Leaders, based on the creation of deeper managed services, or outsourcing, relationships that span tactical and strategic user requirements.”

The vendors in the Magic Quadrant were evaluated on their “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision”, which reflects criteria like Product & Service, Sales execution/pricing, Operations or Business model, among others.

Managed Mobility is a major part of Telefónica’s core service portfolio and an area in which the company continues to heavily invest. It has a positive impact enabling Telefonica and multinational customers globally to take advantage of increased productivity whilst leveraging and managing consumerisation and enterprise mobility trends. It also creates joined up end to end communications, and most importantly, facilitates a business everywhere principle through mobilization of business processes and higher employee collaboration, leading to greater productivity.

José Luis Gamo, Telefónica Global Solutions, Multinational Business Unit CEO, commented: “We believe being in the visionary quadrant means we are able to actively innovate and disrupt within the market and offer flexible solutions to our customers. We will continue to deliver in this area with new innovative products and features to help our customers run their businesses more efficiently”.
