“With the opportunity afforded to Avalon to create tremendous value across multiple agencies, we sought a partner capable of supporting a contract of this magnitude,” said Irv Rodrigues, president and CTO of Avalon Technology. “Tangoe’s extensive experience with large scale projects and their shared vision of communications life-cycle management, made them the obvious choice. Avalon’s success is driven by our strategic mission to focus on managed mobility solutions for all phases of the entire wireless management lifecycle; Tangoe’s TEM technologies will further enhance our success as we support the government in reducing wireless spend.”

“The global demand and use of mobile communications and computing devices in both private and enterprise market segments has, in recent years, increased at twice the rate of fixed line services and this trend is expected to continue during the next few years,” said Eric Goodness, research vice president with leading technology analyst firm Gartner. “In addition, mobile technologies and service offerings have also experienced dramatic changes. In response to these conditions, a focused approach to better managing the entire lifecycle of enterprise mobility will yield significant benefits to both enterprise and government agencies alike.”

As part of the partner agreement, Avalon will utilize Tangoe technologies and services that will grant government agencies full visibility over the mobile enterprise, thereby lowering the total cost of ownership while improving quality of service. Tangoe’s patented technologies automate the procurement and deployment of mobile devices and services, and a web interface permits the appropriate agency personnel to view all mobile communications devices, users, services, and carriers. Additionally, this technology provides the agency with usage analysis and spending trends and tracks them against more than 35,000 rate plans from multiple carriers to ensure rate plan optimization.

“Teaming with an organization of Avalon Technology’s caliber to help reduce costs and improve the performance of mobile services within the federal government is an exciting opportunity,” said Tangoe president and CEO Al Subbloie. “Our experience helping Global 2000 companies manage complex, geographically-dispersed communications environments with a large inventory of devices and services, combined with Avalon’s vast experience working with the federal government and expertise in full wireless lifecycle management, is a winning combination that we’re confident will sustain a successful partnership for many years to come.”
