The corporate workplace has become a diverse mobile device environment mainly driven by the growing number of mobile professionals and demand for newer devices with improved user interface, applications, speed and cool factor. Core to this demand is employee mobility and the expectation for anywhere and anytime access to information, people, applications and communications to support increased demand for productivity and customer responsiveness.
In many ways IT is no longer able to control the proliferation of what they consider “Non-Standard” devices. To make it even more complex, many staff members carry multiple devices – work devices (BlackBerry) and personal devices (iPhone, iPad) they sometimes want to use for work purposes. With the increasing demand for Apple/iOS support in the corporate workplace, IT is looking for options that are manageable, secure and cost effective – across all devices.
