Frost & Sullivan cites Sprint as "an excellent example of an end-to-end mobile solution provider for small business"

Sprint (NYSE: S) today earned high praise for its focus on solutions for small businesses from noted industry observer Frost & Sullivan (News - Alert).

In a report issued this week, Mobile Solutions for Today's Small Business: The Need for Affordable, Easy-to-Use Products and Support, Frost & Sullivan identified Sprint (News - Alert) as an excellent example of an end-to-end mobile solution provider for the small business sector. The report analyzes mobile solutions that provide benefits for today's small businesses and discusses the critical steps and criteria in selecting the correct mobility partner when it comes to mobile enterprise applications.

Jeanine Sterling, Frost & Sullivan Senior industry analyst, said, "In addition to creating a compelling portfolio of solutions and services, Sprint is very conscious of how frugal today's small business must be. Mobile technology should be viewed by smaller businesses as the solution, not as a struggle."

She added, "Properly implemented, mobile offerings are saving money, are increasing productivity and revenues, and are making customers happy. Sprint Biz 360, a solutions package for small businesses from Sprint, offers hosted solutions that are billed on a per-user per-month basis and they work with their partners to offer hardware discounts and other deals to keep the products affordable."

• Wireless phone solutions

• Productivity solutions that let employees do more from more places

The Frost & Sullivan report noted that savvy mobile technology providers are building solution portfolios to accommodate smaller company needs. Selected mobile products and services, such as smartphones, tablets, mobile applications, network connectivity solutions and more personalized service support, are positioned to help business success. Deploying the right mobile solutions can help reduce paper work, decrease overall labor expenses, and increase end-customer satisfaction.
