Proposing a few more changes
Information to be added:

1. Please add a section named 'Technology'

Unlike single sign on which still requires a username & password, zero sign-on enables passwordless mobile authentication to log into web apps from any desktop – managed or unmanaged. Unmanaged devices are completely controlled by the user with little or no visibility to the service provider. When a user, with Access set up on their mobile device, logs into an enterprise web app using an unmanaged desktop, Access displays a web page with a QR code instead of a username and password field. The user then uses their mobile device and authenticates to their MobileIron client via biometrics, and then uses the app to scan the QR code in the browser to gain access to the web app on the unmanaged device.

2. Please add a section named 'Recognition'

During the five-year period of 2009-2013 MobileIron was named the fastest growing technology company in the world and ranked #1 in Deloitte’s Fast 500 Index. The company was positioned as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software in 2011, 2012 and 2013. It was positioned as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Mobility Management Suites from 2014 to 2017. It was also positioned as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Unified Endpoint Management Tools in 2018 and 2019. MobileIron was named a Leader in the 2018 Forrester Wave for Unified Endpoint Management and the 2018 IDC MarketScape for Unified Endpoint Management Software.

 * 1) Wikipedia is not an instruction manual on how to use this technology, per WP:NOTMANUAL.
 * 2) By their very nature, accolades can be subjective — in that they represent a very specific point of view — the point of view of the individual or organization which determines who receives the accolade and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of accolades to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.
 * 3) To include a list of accolades here, please ensure that only accolades which are independently notable in Wikipedia are listed in the request.

Information to be added:

1. Please edit the first paragraph from

MobileIron Inc. is an American software company specializing in security for mobile devices, apps, and cloud services, including enterprise mobility management (EMM) and mobile device management (MDM).

to:

MobileIron Inc. is an American software company specializing in enterprise security for mobile devices, apps, and cloud services, through Unified Endpoint Management (UEM),  enterprise mobility management (EMM) and mobile device management (MDM). MobileIron offers zero trust technologies such as zero sign-on (ZSO) user and device authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and mobile threat defense (MTD).

2. In the 'History' section, please add the following referenced information

It became publicly traded in 2014 on NASDAQ under the ticker MOBL. In 2017, the company started providing IoT management under the leadership of Barry Mainz. Simon Biddiscombe was appointed CEO in October 2017. In January 2018, MobileIron partnered with Google Cloud to distribute Google apps through MobileIron’s EMM platform and provide a secure enterprise applications and services portal.

3. In the 'Products' section, please add the following referenced information

MobileIron's software also has mobile threat defense tools to combat vulnerabilities & malware. MobileIron launched Access in 2016, bringing EMM together with identity management and restricting authentication to known apps and devices. Authentication could also be restricted by other device compliance policies. In 2017, MobileIron developed a zero sign-on enterprise by enabling zero sign-on to cloud services on managed devices with its Access product. In 2019, MobileIron extended that capability by making passwordless access to cloud services available from any iOS device, managed or unmanaged, using the mobile device as the user’s secure ID. According to Fast Company, MobileIron is “at the leading edge of the shift away from passwords,” highlighting its mobile-first and mobile-always-available approach to authentication.

 * 1) ❌ The lead section was not implemented, as the terms used there, such as mobile device management (MDM), zero trust technologies, zero sign-on (ZSO) user and device authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and mobile threat defense (MTD) have not been Wikilinked.
 * 2)  The information concerning the NASDAQ ticker symbol is already included in the infobox.
 * 3) ❌ Information on IoT management was not added, as it was referenced by TechCrunch.
 * 4)  Information on the appointment of the CEO in 2017 is already in the article.
 * 5) ✅ Information on the Google Cloud partnership was added.
 * 6) ❌ Information on Access was not added because it was referenced by BrianMadden.com, which offers opinion/editorial content.
 * 7) ❌ Information on the zero sign-on enterprise was not added, because it was referenced by a Forbes.com contributor.
 * 8) ❌ Information provided by Fast Company was not added, as it does not conform with WP:BALANCE (e.g., "at the leading edge").


 * - Thanks for the partial implementation and appreciate your guidance. TP495 (talk) 15:00, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

If there is some other way of combining these two elements without implying anything incorrect, please advise. Regards, Spintendo  23:28, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "Zero trust technologies" was not wikilinked, so it was not added. As MFA was mentioned (and since MFA is part and parcel of the company's provision of MDM), these two sentences were combined. That being said, if it's true that these two things are very different, then a suggestion would be appreciated on how to combine the two sentences without using the generic "they also provide MFA." This dilemma on how to structure the lead section is shown below:
