PALO ALTO, CA --(Marketwired - August 25, 2017) - VMware, Inc. (
According to the IDC MarketScape report, "VMware's AirWatch product, acquired in 2014, is now tightly integrated into VMware's End User Computing (EUC) business unit, which includes the company's virtual client computing and other non-datacenter software products. As an individual product, AirWatch has MDM, MAM, and MCM capabilities and is expanding aggressively into UEM and IoT use cases. AirWatch is also among the leaders in EMM to incorporate reporting data and analytics into its offering, with packages to help businesses better understand how mobile devices, apps, and data are accessed and consumed."

We've continued to push our pace of innovation to deliver a solution that can help customers adopt a UEM approach at their desired pace," explained Sumit Dhawan, senior vice president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. "We understand our customers are at different points in their digital transformation journey, and with our Workspace ONE platform powered by AirWatch technology, they can find a solution that will support them as they move from EMM to UEM to deploying a digital workspace strategy."
