Mergers and Acquisitions

Good Technology Acquires Macheen

  • Written by Michael Cusanelli
  • October 23, 2014

Secure mobility provider Good Technology announced it has acquired Macheen, a privately held mobile cloud application service provider. The acquisition is expected to bolster the company’s ability to provide customers with embedded corporate data plan support across business-required apps and broaden the company’s relationship with carriers. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Secure mobility provider Good Technology announced it has acquired Macheen, a privately held mobile cloud application service provider. The acquisition is expected to bolster the company’s ability to provide customers with embedded corporate data plan support across business-required apps and broaden the company’s relationship with carriers. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

“As BYOD deployments continue to become mainstream, our customers want to alleviate the risk and cost associated with rapidly increasing mobile regulations, tax liabilities and complexities around mobile reimbursement and corporate stipend programs, while at the same time carriers are looking to better serve their enterprise customers,” said Christy Wyatt, chairman and chief executive officer at Good Technology, in a statement. “By acquiring Macheen and its cloud-based offering, and coupling that with expanded carrier relationships, we will be securely and cost-effectively taking more friction out of deploying secure mobile apps and workflows—further positioning Good ahead of the industry in the race to democratize mobility.”

The acquisition comes on the heels of Good’s recent hassle-free BYOD announcement, which allows enterprises to set up a corporate data plan based on the Good secure mobile collaboration app. Last month, the company also beefed up its reseller program to include a new Margin Rewards Program and launched a free Mobile Cost of Ownership Analyzer to help organizations drive down mobile costs.

“BYOD programs were generally defined by configuration, policy control and device management for smart phones and tablets,” said Richard Schwartz, president and chief executive officer, Macheen. “Together, our joint technology will offer controlled corporate usage of a broader set of enterprise devices and beyond as the era of Internet of Things becomes a reality.”
