SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility solutions, today announced key findings from the Good™ Mobility Index Report for Q2 and Q3 2013. For the first time, the company includes data on the adoption of enterprise applications, in addition to device activations, leveraging insights from the company's vast and diverse customer base using the Good Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform.  The company reported that total device activations for the quarter rose nearly 60 percent from the same time last year, indicating that the rise of mobility continues to grow at a staggering pace and enterprises are choosing Good to protect their data, not just devices.  The company also announced 1000 custom applications - those developed internally by an enterprise to streamline business process - have been built and securely deployed by customers on Good Dynamics®.

This milestone closely aligns with Good's most recent activation data, which reveals the most rapid growth in enterprise apps is being driven by the adoption of custom enterprise applications, at an astounding rate of 52 percent quarter over quarter.  In total, Good found that the number of mobile app activations rose 42 percent quarter over quarter, pointing to the growth of enterprise apps developed by ISVs and enterprises alike.

From a device standpoint, iOS continues to lead in device activations, but saw a slight wobble in numbers, dropping 3 percent quarter over quarter, to 72% in Q3. Android™ saw an increase in activations, 30 percent and 27 percent of total activations respectively, in Q2 and Q3.

"As we continue to see tremendous adoption of secure enterprise mobility across our customer base, platform diversity remains a key theme," said Christy Wyatt, CEO and President, Good Technology.  "It's promising to see our extensive base of Good customers embracing the transformative opportunity that comes with harnessing the power of mobile apps, not just mobile devices."

The Mobility Index Report also indicated that iOS dominated as the platform for enterprise application development, with 98 percent and 95 percent of total app activations in Q2 and Q3 respectively. However, Android enterprise application development is experiencing more significant growth, as the number of Android app activations nearly tripled quarter over quarter.

Additional report findings include:

• Tablets are the most popular device for mobile app usage, with 81 percent of applications activated in Q3 on this form factor.
