Columbia, MD (PRWEB) January 7, 2009 -- BoxTone(R) Inc., the expert in mobile user management, today reported that sales of its management, monitoring and support software modules for the BlackBerry(R) platform finished the most recent fiscal year on a double-digit growth trajectory, exceeding sales plans and making the company a rare success story in an otherwise difficult macro environment for enterprise technology sales.

The Maryland-based software and services company also saw its market leading client base move past 190 -- representing an increase of 90 percent year-over-year -- with the total number of mobile end users licensed under BoxTone software now nearing 450,000. Customer loyalty remained strong as well, with BoxTone software renewal rates hovering in the 97 percent range.
Said Alan Snyder, BoxTone's CEO, "BoxTone's focus on delivering real value to our customers, coupled with our superior execution and product capabilities, made the difference in this difficult environment."

Telecommunications giant BT provides managed BlackBerry platform services for a large British Government agency, trusting BoxTone software to monitor both the health and availability of the Agency's BlackBerry Enterprise Server as well as individual users. Said Alan Calverley, gateway team leader for BT for the project, "If there's a problem with an individual user, we look at the user summary in BoxTone and drill down to the user performance details. If we see any service count errors on the Server, we can drill down to investigate them. What used to be a labor-intensive troubleshooting effort now takes dramatically less time and is far more effective, thanks to BoxTone."
The secret behind these and other BoxTone client successes is a patented technology called SmartMP(TM) that uses high-volume data collectors, analyzers and mobile pattern-specific rules engines to instrument and measure end-to-end the actual performance of all mobile users 24x7. Those individual points of actual user experience performance -- including performance at each hop of user email and application flows -- are correlated with hundreds of application- and infrastructure-level data points to deliver both a real-time and historical picture of user and end-to-end BlackBerry ecosystem performance.
"We understand that now more than ever it is important for customers to be able to trust their vendors to deliver real value immediately, and that they will be there for them in the long run," added Snyder. "BoxTone has the best product, vision and team, and is well positioned to support our customers both today and in the future."
