Tangoe, Inc. Acquires Anomalous Networks
ORANGE, Conn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Tangoe, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGO), a leading global provider of on-demand
Communications Lifecycle Management (CLM) software and related services,
announced that it has acquired privately held Anomalous Networks, a
leading provider of Real-Time Telecom Expense Management (rTEM) software
solutions.
rTEM is a critical cost containment capability that enhances both mobile
Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM)
solutions. For TEM solutions, rTEM shifts the expense management focus
from post bill receipt to the actual point of consumption, reducing or
proactively preventing the cost impacts of unnecessary overages. For MDM
solutions, rTEM provides a rapidly deployed, easily configurable cost
management capability that goes beyond traditional device security and
control, enabling a more effective and complete solution. Based on its
immediate and predictive cost containment nature, rTEM is an essential
component in the elimination of "bill shock" or the unexpected receipt
of large mobile services bills by individuals and organizations of all
sizes.
Anomalous Networks delivers rTEM solutions for a wide array of
communication devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers,
and modem-enabled equipment. The company's solutions are complementary
to Tangoe's existing offerings by providing additional capabilities such
as predictive cost intelligence, "bill shock" prevention, user alert
acknowledgement tracking, usage anomaly detection, and enhanced policy
enforcement. The combined offering will provide solutions with deeper,
more expansive real-time usage visibility and control, enabling our
customers with further opportunities to reduce their communication
expenses.
"Managing the costs and security risks associated with the deployment of
mobile technologies is an increasing challenge for global organizations
as a result of the rapid growth and proliferation of connected devices.
The acquisition of Anomalous Networks will enhance Tangoe's ability to
address this challenge by adding additional best-in-class, real-time
expense management capabilities to our industry leading CLM platform,"
said Al Subbloie, President and CEO of Tangoe. "Anomalous Networks'
cloud-based rTEM technology is highly complementary to our existing
solutions, and we believe its compelling value proposition will provide
Tangoe with an attractive cross-selling opportunity across our large and
growing customer base as well as our business partners."
Anomalous Networks has strategic alliances with key carriers, as well as
additional partnerships with vendors in the managed service, OEM,
machine-to-machine (M2M), and standalone MDM solution spaces. Its rTEM
products were specifically designed for easy integration and branding
allowing Tangoe to expand these channels, and offer rTEM as a critical
value-added cost avoidance capability through third-parties.
In addition, this acquisition also broadens Tangoe's CLM coverage to
include M2M communication endpoints, extending expense management, asset
tracking, and usage control to all types of wireless devices.
Tangoe does not expect the transaction to have a material impact on
revenue or non-GAAP profitability for 2012, and it will provide first
quarter and full year 2012 guidance when it announces fourth quarter and
full year 2011 financial results during February.
