Secure mobility specialist Good Technology has arranged an $80 million (around £50 million) financing deal that was handled by investment firm Oppenheimer & Company.

The company currently provides secure mobile device services to more than 5,000 organisations worldwide.

Mobile security solution specialist Good Technology has filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering.

However, it’s not confirmed how much the company will be valued at for this stock market flotation.

Good Technology, the secure ‘bring your own device’ technology business, has appointed a new CEO.

Christy Wyatt has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, while King Lee - who’d been CEO since 2010 - is becoming Executive Chairman.

Good Technology, which enables businesses to implement ‘bring your own device’ solutions, has agreed to acquire California-based AppCentral.

AppCentral creates products that allow organisations to distribute, manage, and secure their mobile applications.

Good Technology, which offers secure technical solutions that enable employees to use their personal smartphones at work, has started providing professional services to help businesses move to a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ scheme.

The two new programmes are simply called BYOD Policy Construction and Transition Services. They’re aimed at organisations that want to take advantage of a BYOD programme but are unsure of the business, legal, financial and HR implications.

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
