BARCELONA, SPAIN, Feb 28, 2012 – Mobile World Congress, Hall 8, Booth 8C115 — TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today announced enhancements to its TCS Workforce Locator™ mobile resource management solution, introducing greater delegation capabilities and extending coverage beyond handsets to data cards and any device with a SIM card, including mobile Wi-Fi hotspots and tablets.
TCS Workforce Locator allows operators to provide greater control of mobile assets for organizations through an easy-to-use, cost-effective, web-based solution that locates specified employees, directs them to destinations and enables communication via text messaging. With enhanced administrative controls, TCS Workforce Locator heightens visibility into mobile workforces, optimizes efficiency and improves response time, while complying with privacy initiatives. New advanced features include enhanced security and the ability to delegate administrative management to field managers and regional offices. As a cloud-based solution, operators and subscribers are able to easily and quickly deploy and scale the service.
“According to data from ABI Research, operator-based mobile enterprise tracking in Europe will grow from 3.6 million workers in 2011 to 19.7 million workers by 2015,” said Jay Whitehurst, senior vice president, Commercial Software Group, TeleCommunication Systems. “Many organizations are managing increasingly large mobile workforces and need a reliable mobile asset management solution that is easy to use, yet customizable to their needs. TCS Workforce Locator delivers increased value for organizations, allowing them to conveniently locate and manage mobile workers, improving internal communication, efficiency, productivity, safety and security, while mitigating privacy concerns. All of this can be provided by an operator and presented to an enterprise without complex back-office integration — the enterprise simply needs handsets or mobile devices provided by the operator.”
