As part of InnoPath’s continuing support of OMA-DM, and commensurate with the leadership role we play, today we announced the advancement of SCOMO to Candidate Enabler. This is a major step, in that vendors may now develop to and test against what is considered a stable implementation. The company was the first to demonstrate a pre-standard implementation at the Mobile World Congress in Feb 2007 with pre-standard clients from Nokia, as well as with our own client, and since that time has worked with both operators and handset partners to complete the standard. SCOMO, as well as continuing work on LAWMO, DCMO, and Diagmon, will complete the remaining pieces of the OMA-DM puzzle, enabling a rich set of standards-based advanced customer care and Enterprise Device Management capabilities.

Here’s a quote from the release: “Mobile Device Management is evolving from point products based on customized platforms to a general solution providing care for both consumers and enterprises,” said David Ginsburg, InnoPath’s VP of Marketing. “That the industry has converged on SCOMO for lifecycle application management is a sign of a maturing market.” Read the full press release here.
