NEW YORK, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterproid™, maker of the Divide™ platform for securely enabling and accelerating "bring your own device" (BYOD) mobility was named to Time Inc.'s second annual list of the "10 NYC Startups to Watch in 2012" and has also been recognized by Gartner, Inc. in their "Cool Vendors in Security: Infrastructure Protection, 2012"* report. Both of these lists recognize the company's Divide platform, which lets users switch instantly between personal and work personas on their Android device at the touch of a button, enabling mobile work-life balance.

"Time Inc. and Gartner, Inc. are both leaders in their respective industries so it is an honor to be recognized by such highly esteemed organizations. This validates that we are providing a real solution for the 'Bring Your Own Device,' or BYOD, phenomenon," said Andrew Toy, chief executive of Enterproid. "Our Divide platform enables both the consumer and enterprise IT stakeholders to embrace BYOD and fully realize its potential, our platform makes life more convenient and work more productive when using mobile devices."

Enterproid's founders were inspired to create a unique approach to mobility by balancing work security with personal freedom after their years of working in the IT department at Morgan Stanley and witnessing the discrepancy between IT and employee corporate mobility needs. The Divide platform was born from their first hand experiences and New York City became home to the company's headquarters with a business office in London and R&D facilities in Hong Kong.

As a Time Inc. "Startup to Watch in 2012," Enterproid joins a diverse list of hot New York-based startups recognized by Time Inc. editors for their potential to reshape areas from social media and entertainment to commerce and art.
