Good Technology – $425M (2015)
Good Technology was a leading mobile security platform securing and managing mobile devices for governments and regulated industries. Buying the company defended BlackBerry‘s stronghold among security-conscious CIOs.
In particular, Good solidified BlackBerry‘s multi-OS strategy by adding advanced iOS and Android management. It also brought complementary mobile productivity and file sharing tools.
The Department of Defense approved Good‘s encrypted solutions across all branches a year after BlackBerry‘s purchase. This underscored the combined entity‘s gold standard reputation.
