Odyssey Software Delivers Premium Mobile Device Management Support for Kindle Fire

WEST HENRIETTA, N.Y., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Odyssey Software, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class mobile device management (MDM) software, today announced that its award winning Athena™ software provides premium support for the Kindle Fire.

"Managing the influx of employee-owned or "BYOD" devices being brought into the corporate environment is a tremendous challenge for IT administrators," said Mark Gentile, CEO of Odyssey Software. "Millions of Kindle Fire devices were sold in December, and many of these will find their way onto corporate networks even though they were not purposefully designed for use in the enterprise. To address some of these challenges, we strongly recommend that all BYOD devices be approved and enrolled in an MDM program before allowing employees to connect to the corporate network."

Athena's premium support for the Kindle Fire includes enabling live access to devices plus passcode reset, lock and wipe functions for remote assistance; reporting detailed hardware, software, network and device health information; setting passcode policies; and deploying applications, documents and media.
