Partners LLC, has received the Frost & Sullivan prestigious 2011 North America New Product Innovation of the Year Award in the field of Mobile Enterprise Protection for the development of their Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security Server (MECS).
Taken directly from the Award Best Practices Report, spearheaded by Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Ahamad Zeffirelli, "The Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security Server (MECS) innovative solution focuses primarily on delivering a new dimension of security, management and compliance to enterprises. Compared to standard mobile device management (MDM) solutions, which are not regarded to be viable security platforms, M.A.D.'s offering promises to provide the utmost protection for mobile enterprise devices."
Winn Schwartau, Chairman of the Board to M.A.D. Partners LLC, reacted to the notification with, "We at M.A.D. Partners are incredibly honored to have our efforts validated by such a recognized international third party as Frost & Sullivan.

To be called the most viable mobile security platform that provides the required security, management, compliance and remediation is both humbling and deeply appreciated."
"M.A.D.'s unique offering performs the act of balancing information and security and delivers a comprehensive solution that handles management, remediation and compliance. The compliance offered by MECS server with HIPAA, GLBA and PCI demonstrates the viability of the solution to adequately comply with various international compliance standards, thus making it suitable for diverse sectors worldwide," said Frost & Sullivan Analyst Ahmed Zeffirelli.
