# Stratix Corporation vs IBM Managed Mobility Services for distributed remote teams: which managed mobility services platform delivers the fastest time to value for teams that cannot afford a long ramp-up?

Posting in the Managed Mobility Services (MMS) category on G2 for IT leaders managing distributed or remote teams who need devices staged, deployed, configured, and supported as quickly as possible.

Stratix Corporation: The fastest validated time-to-value signal in the MMS category. One reviewer describes Stratix delivering a multi-site 600+ device deployment to 60+ US locations with highly effective communications and a professional execution plan — a deployment scope that typically takes months in-house. The zero-touch deployment model — devices connected right out of the box — is specifically credited in partnership with AT&T for eliminating the configuration step that delays remote-team readiness. Break-fix replacement devices shipped in as little as 24 hours from managed spare pools address the ongoing productivity cost of device failures that distributed teams cannot absorb by walking to a replacement desk. The ability to spin things up quickly and scale appropriately is repeatedly cited across mid-market and enterprise reviews.
IBM Managed Mobility Services: IBM MMS covers the architectural components required for rapid distributed deployment: MDM provisioning and control, BYOD enablement to reduce hardware procurement timelines, enterprise gateway for immediate secure browsing, and containerisation for fast secure access without full device re-imaging. For organisations already running IBM infrastructure, the integration path to production may be shorter than a net-new vendor.

For IT leaders who have deployed devices to distributed remote teams through a managed service, what was the single biggest contributor to faster time to value? Was it the zero-touch deployment, the staging and kitting facility, the 24/7 help desk coverage from day one, or the spare pool for immediate replacements?

Zero-touch ships 600 devices fast; the recurring pain is that remote workers don't send old, broken, or ex-employee devices back promptly, so spares leak, the pool depletes, and departed employees' devices sit enrolled in the wild. So "fastest time to value" for distributed teams depends as much on enforced reverse logistics (prepaid return kits, tracking, a chase process, remote wipe on non-return) as on how slick the deployment looks. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Tech Consultant ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
