(NASDAQ:SNCR) (the "Company" or “Synchronoss”), the leader in mobile cloud innovation for mobile carriers, enterprises, retailers and OEMs around the world, today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.
