Want to know more about B2M?

Since 2002, B2M Solutions has focused exclusively on meeting the needs of enterprises deploying and managing enterprise mobile solutions.

We pride ourselves on developing software for Android and Windows that’s rock-solid in performance, delights our customers with its ease of use and intuitiveness, and leads the industry in defining how Mobile DEX drives improvement across an enterprise.

It’s been a great journey.  But in many ways, we’re just getting started.

Our history:

The evolution of our brand over time

Over twenty years ago, Julie Purves founded B2M. And in her original business plan, she highlighted the vision for the company:

B2M is founded to address a growing cost-management issue for companies deploying mobile computing solutions.  Specifically, the need to measure, manage and reduce the cost of all elements that constitute that solution including hardware, software and communications providers.

Over 20 years later, that vision is more true than ever as companies now depend on reliable mobile devices, apps and network connections in the hands of their workforce.

The original vision is still the driving force behind our development of Elemez which leads the market in functionality and acceptance and provides the visibility and intelligence needed to minimize the downtime, ensure a positive Digital Employee Experience (DEX) for mobile workers, and maximize the ROI of mobile investments.

The original software offering from B2M was mProdigy, which was an early market leader for Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions in the UK, EU, and North America.

The second solution brought to market was Elemez which has steadily evolved from an early Mobile Analytics platform, to Mobile Intelligence using machine learning-based AI, to the current offerings of Elemez which are leading the Mobile Digital Employee Experience (Mobile DEX) market.

B2M’s reputation continues to be one of highly reliable, scalable solutions designed based on the market’s needs for robust software tools.

Some highlights from the last twenty+ years’ journey are in the slides below.
