SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Jul 20, 2016) - NetMotion Wireless , the leading provider of mobile performance management, security and traffic optimization software, today announced the company's Japan expansion with the appointment of mobility solutions expert, Takahiro Narita, as Japan Country Manager. Mr. Narita, a Dell veteran, will be responsible for building the Japanese market for NetMotion's software solutions and developing and managing a partner network of top tier distributors and systems integrators.
NetMotion's Mobility software delivers secure connectivity, adaptive policy control, application performance management and network optimization for more than three thousand organizations worldwide.

"The growing global demand for our solutions combined with the upsurge in mobility projects across Japan make it a logical area of focus for us. I'm thrilled that our Mobility and Diagnostics Japanese localization is completed and that we have such an experienced executive in Mr. Narita to lead our Japan efforts."

"Our software is uniquely suited to meet these growing challenges and enable both an increase in productivity while removing the complexity of supporting a mobile workforce.
