The services include a portfolio of products for security, device management as well as analytics and application development, the company said.

"Using IBM MobileFirst solutions, businesses can streamline everything from the management of employee mobile devices, to the creation of a new mobile commerce app that will transform their entire business model," IBM said.

MobileFirst is part of IBM's expanded mobile strategy as the company tries to gain an advantage over rivals amid a proliferation of devices such as smartphones and tablets.
