Their investment is further validation of Trellia’s business strategy and both organizations’ belief that enterprise mobility will remain a strategic component of corporate IT, despite the downturn.”   “Enterprises are migrating to mobility either deliberately or organically as laptops continue to replace desktops, wireless access becomes ubiquitous and today’s workforce demands the flexibility to work from anywhere” says Andy Katz, Partner at Skypoint Capital. “Trellia is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend through its mobile policy enforcement solutions that address the need of organizations to manage the new mobile reality.”   “Trellia’s success with customers in various sectors validates our belief that mobile policy enforcement is a core requirement for enterprise mobility projects” says Jean Bedard, Managing Director of BDR Capital. “We are confident that Trellia is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity to become the market leader.
