Odyssey Software Delivers Athena v4.0

Latest Version of Award Winning Mobile Device Management Product Now Available.

WEST HENRIETTA, N.Y., -- As pressure builds on the enterprise to not only allow employees to use the device of their choice but to also manage the assortment of devices in their mobile workforce, Odyssey Software, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class mobile device management (MDM) products, today announced it is shipping Athena™ v4.0. This new product provides mobile device management to a number of popular devices including the Apple® iPhone®, Android, Palm® Pre, Nokia E and N series and Microsoft Windows Mobile® and Windows Embedded CE device platforms.

"According to recent data from Nielsen, there are now over 249 million cell phones in the United States," said Mark Gentile, CEO of Odyssey Software. "With the proliferation of mobile workers using a wide variety of devices, it is critical for enterprises to utilize the latest management offerings to ensure an efficient, secure and productive workforce. With the latest release of Athena, we are providing our customers the breadth of support needed to reliably and cost effectively manage mobile and embedded devices, across an enterprise's diverse platform population of both personal and corporate issued devices."

Odyssey Software's flagship product, Athena, is a unique product designed to directly integrate into the native infrastructure of industry-standard management consoles. Athena does not require additional server-side components or consoles, unlike all other device management products, which require their own proprietary server, console or database infrastructure. Contrary to traditional management offerings, Athena is specifically architected to be flexible, modular and seamless to integrate. With live remote control of devices in the field, comprehensive software and hardware asset information, location based data support via GPS, device software, application and patch provisioning and installation, and security, including device lock and wipe, Athena is the industry's most flexible and comprehensive mobile device management solution.

By enabling enterprises to integrate mobile device management through a single console, Athena v4.0 complements and extends capabilities to existing enterprise management platforms such as Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) 2007 and the upcoming Configuration Manager vNext platform, leveraging the platforms' inherent scalability, reliability and security.
