AirWatch

Scaling Enterprise Mobility to a $1.5B Acquisition

AirWatch was a pioneer in mobile device management (MDM), enabling enterprises to securely manage mobile devices, apps, and content. As enterprise mobility evolved, AirWatch needed to expand beyond MDM into a comprehensive mobility management and content platform while optimizing its go-to-market (GTM) strategy for scalable growth.


Insight Partners played a crucial role in accelerating AirWatch’s transition, optimizing its GTM motion, and positioning the company for a high-value acquisition.



Scaling Growth with Strategic Investment

Expanding Beyond MDM: Product & Market Evolution


- Guided R&D Strategy: Insight worked closely with AirWatch’s engineering team to support the transition from pure MDM to a broader enterprise mobility management (EMM) and content platform.

- Strengthened market positioning to better serve large enterprises looking for end-to-end mobility solutions.



Successful Exit & Industry Impact


- 2014: AirWatch was acquired by VMware for $1.5B, marking one of the largest mobility management acquisitions at the time.

- Established itself as a market leader in enterprise mobility management, powering secure mobile operations for businesses worldwide.



Key Results


- Secured Majority Investment from Insight Partners in 2013 to drive expansion.

- Optimized GTM Strategy, enabling faster enterprise adoption and revenue growth.

- Expanded Product Scope from MDM to a full-fledged mobility management and content platform.

- Achieved a $1.5B Acquisition by VMware in 2014, cementing AirWatch’s legacy in enterprise mobility.



Defining the Future of Enterprise Mobility
