INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Managed Mobility Services (MMS) leader MOBI today announced that it has been acquired by Tangoe, the leading Technology Expense Management (TEM) company. This acquisition brings together the industry’s execution leader with the MMS visionary to create a global market powerhouse.
