"A few of us were growing a global leader in the device management (MDM/UEM) space, but we grew increasingly frustrated with the limitations imposed on us by old ideas and legacy technology. The whole MDM industry was founded at a time of Blockbuster and Myspace, and solutions were designed to manage 100 devices that pale in comparison to what today's devices can do. Google and Netflix were changing customer expectations for what a digital experience looks like, and we simply couldn't keep pace. So with MDM at an inflection point, we left to fix what was broken.

‍We didn't want to just upgrade an industry, however--we wanted to transform it. Our goal was simple: deliver to enterprise the full capabilities of the digital Edge. This meant pushing the solution beyond legacy by building a platform that from a design perspective gave first consideration to device interactions at the network's edge rather than the centralized nature of on-premise and cloud. Customers wanted a seamless, edge-native experience that offered full visibility and ultimate control over their applications and data. They also wanted deep-learning insights, on-device collaboration,  real-time environments and capabilities for AI and Edge autonomy. Where legacy was an anchor to their innovation, Springdel was to be their wings. Of course legacy tried to fix all their problems with clunky updates and brittle patches, but you can't put a speed train on wooden tracks, so it was always falling off the rails.

‍Legacy MDM is crumbling under the weight of its own obsolescence. We are accelerating into a new era in edge computing and device capability, and we are proud to offer up to our enterprise customers a world of insights and opportunities by unleashing the full potential of the interactive Edge of Things." - Calvin Chung, Springdel Co-Founder and CEO.
