LINQ Earns AOTMP Solution Certification and Joins Industry Leadership Council

BLOOMINGTON, IN – April 21, 2026 – AOTMP®, a membership organization for technology management professionals backed by an industry-leading certification body, today announced that LINQ has achieved AOTMP Solution Certification and has become an Industry Leader Member. These designations recognize LINQ’s commitment to transparent, accountable, and results-driven mobility management, as well as its support for advancing industry best practices and measurable customer outcomes.

LINQ Achieves AOTMP Solution Certification

LINQ’s certification reflects the company’s strong position in managed mobility and device lifecycle services, including mobility management, cost optimization, provisioning and inventory management, invoice management, contract and vendor management, and unified endpoint management. Through its people-first service model and proprietary suite of software tools and LINQ Qonnect online portal, LINQ helps decentralized organizations simplify complex mobility operations while maintaining financial visibility and operational control.

“LINQ stands out because they combine a flexible, transparent operating model with real human support and a clear commitment to service performance. That combination gives clients confidence that mobility management will be handled with both accountability and care,” said Timothy C. Colwell, Executive Vice President, AOTMP.

Recognition as an Industry Leader Member

In addition to earning Solution Certification, LINQ has joined AOTMP as an Industry Leader Member, supporting the AOTMP Industry Leadership Committee. This group of Enterprise Advisory Council Platinum Members and Industry Leader vendors helps shape, promote, and advance the future of technology management through innovation and elevated industry standards.

“LINQ is thrilled to achieve AOTMP’s Efficiency First® certification for our managed mobility solution. Efficiency First principles are consistent with LINQ’s design objectives in operational excellence, financial accountability, technical integrity, and business results,” said Chris Koeneman, Chief Revenue Officer of LINQ. “LINQ is proud to be allied with AOTMP given its trusted advisory position with many leading enterprise companies. AOTMP’s certification reinforces LINQ’s flexible managed mobility platform, which eschews the traditional per device fee model in favor of a model that guarantees savings.”

About LINQ

LINQ, a recipient of the AOTMP Efficiency First® Solution Certification, was founded in 2005 in Baltimore, Maryland, by Kevin Lowe with a singular mission: To uncomplicate a complicated industry. With nearly two decades of managed mobility expertise and over $1 billion in enterprise mobile spend managed, LINQ is a trusted, carrier-agnostic partner serving decentralized organizations nationwide. Headquartered in Baltimore with an office in Pittsburgh, LINQ assumes full operational ownership of enterprise mobile programs. Through its expense optimization IP and Qonnect client portal, LINQ manages provisioning, cost governance, carrier coordination, MDM enforcement, inventory management, and invoice processing; all so organizations can focus on running their business rather than managing mobile devices and services.

With 77% of staff dedicated to client services and a 96% customer retention rate, LINQ’s people-first model delivers the accountability and financial visibility that enterprise organizations demand.

About Bearstone

Bearstone is a telecom vendor governance firm founded by Bill Henrichs, Former Head of Telecommunications at Simon Property Group. Managing telecom for a 200+ site portfolio, Bill saw what most CIOs learn: invoices routinely carry unauthorized charges — services billed after disconnect, rates outside contracted terms — that no one is validating line by line. He built Bearstone to close that gap.

Bearstone delivers BearGuard — a managed governance service that validates invoices against contracted terms, surfaces unauthorized charges and variance, and holds carriers accountable for correction. Where TEM platforms stop at reporting, BearGuard begins.

Headquartered in Noblesville, Indiana, Bearstone serves multi-site enterprises — retail, hospitality, and distribution — with 200+ locations or $2M+ in annual telecom spend.
