Press Release
Japan’s No. 1 MDM for Three Straight Years,Optimal Biz, Verified for iOS 9 GM SeedTOKYO, Japan (September 10, 2015) – OPTiM Corporation (TSE Mothers: 3694), a leading providerof business-related applications for smart devices, announced that Optimal Biz, Japan’s #1※1 SaaS※
2model MDM※3 for three straight years, has been verified※4 on iOS 9 for iPhone and iPad etc., using
iOS 9 GM Seed, the latest developer version. This newest GM Seed is a version released todevelopers just before an official OS release, and is assumed to be nearly identical with the official
one. Completed verification on the GM Seed version assures overall management by Optimal Biz as
before, even for devices equipped with the latest iOS 9.
Recently, it's becoming common for end-users to make OS upgrades by themselves. "Because ofdifficulty in controlling different OS versions used by individual devices, IT administrators place thegreatest importance on selecting an MDM supporting the latest OS," Shunji Sugaya, CEO of OPTiM,emphasized. Especially in case of iOS, many users tend to upgrade their OS immediately after thelatest OS version has been released. For example, more than 40% of iOS users upgraded to iOS 8.4
within a week of the update’s release.※5 So, OPTiM quickly conducted the verification of Optimal Biz
in order to allow users to make upgrade to iOS 9 under their own judgment or to purchase a device
equipped with iOS 9 without any trouble.
