Motorola to Acquire Good Technology
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 09:00 PM
"Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Good Technology, Inc. today announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Motorola will acquire privately held Good Technology, a leader in enterprise mobile computing software and service. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Good Technology, based in Santa Clara, is a strategic addition to Motorola's Mobile Devices business. The acquisition will extend Motorola's mobile computing capabilities and increase the company's enterprise client base. Good Technology's wireless messaging, data access and handheld security offerings provide intuitive and advanced productivity solutions for mobile professionals with enterprise-level device security and management."
This is an interesting move by Motorola. Good is well-known for its mobile messaging solution, though with most current-generation Windows Mobile 5.0 devices supporting Microsoft's Direct Push, how will the two add up? More options for the consumer, I guess.
