LOS ANGELES, October 20, 2015 – Marlin Equity Partners (“Marlin”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired eMOBUS, a leading provider of cloud-based mobility management software solutions. The company’s mobility management platform helps companies streamline and modernize the management of their mobile device spend, services and end-user support from a single, easy-to-use interface and allows them to quickly lower costs, automate tedious support tasks and enable self-managed Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) deployment. eMOBUS has been merged with Asentinel, LLC (“Asentinel”), a Marlin portfolio company, adding robust Managed Mobility Services (MMS) capabilities to Asentinel’s existing Telecom Expense Management (TEM) product offering and creating a market leading provider of wireline and wireless technology expense management software solutions.
