This report analyses current trends in the operator mobile device management (MDM) server software market and competitive landscape. It also provides an overview of individual suppliers' offerings and positioning in the market.

MDM as a whole is relatively well established as a market; there is now a fast growing user base of operators worldwide. Some estimate that up to 40% of operators worldwide have deployed some form of MDM software, mainly OTA configuration server software. Our own research suggests that this figure is closer to 30% in developed markets and as low as 5% in the developing world. This is in line with last year's forecasts and means that many vendors have doubled their user base over the past 6-12 months. The number RFPs and RFQs have increased sharply over the past 12 months and at least 30 new contracts have been publicly announced since May 2005 - keeping in mind that many vendors do not report on new wins and deployments.

This does not mean, however, that the market is mature. MDM server software offerings are not standardised, the technology is still evolving, operators are still planning large-scale deployments and many vendors are busy deciding on their next move. We expect the market to take a very different shape over the coming year.
