Motorola, Verizon Partner For Enterprise, M2M Foray

At the ongoing Motorola Solutions Channel Partner Expo, Verizon Enterprise Solutions and Motorola Solutions said they will team to help grow machine-to-machine (M2M) connections, and to deliver vertical enterprise solutions with wireless data and voice.

Verizon Enterprise Solutions will offer end-to-end integrated voice and data solutions, while Motorola Solutions’ product portfolio will allow enterprise and government IT organizations to “capitalize, capture and analyze critical data,” the two said. “Critical elements to that equation include device staging, vertical applications, rollout support and help desk services.”

Motorola Solutions will give Verizon Enterprise Solutions expanded access and relationships in field service, manufacturing, retail, education, government, healthcare, transportation and logistics. One area of focus includes the ruggedized line of handsets, including the Motorola Solutions ES400, MC65, MC75 and MC9500 mobile computers. Using those, Verizon Wireless mobile users “can capture and share mission-critical data in the field and update back-end systems in real-time with enterprise class devices and solutions,” Motorola adds.

"With Verizon Enterprise Solutions’ participation in the PartnerEmpower program, our channel community will have additional revenue opportunities in targeted vertical markets, and customers will benefit from our combined strengths and expertise," says Mark Kroh, vice president/North American Channels at Motorola Solutions.
