- (1888PressRelease) June 08, 2011 - The growing number of company smartphones and tablets poses new challenges for managers. On the one hand, the company's device pool includes an ever growing number of types of smartphone, while on the other these are also increasingly used for both private and business calls. The different types of device need to be able to be integrated into the company network without compromising security standards. The Mobile Remote Management system from MobileIron now enables Swisscom to provide a solution that is suitable for the main operating systems Android, BlackBerry, Apple iOS, Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile.
Centralised management for all business units
This remote management system enables all company smartphones and tablets to be easily integrated in the company network and to be managed over the air. It doesn't matter where the device is if there is a mobile connection. It is possible to access each individual device, e.g. for reconfiguration, device identification, release or locking. Applications and software updates can also be easily distributed to the entire device pool.
This standardised device management system has many advantages. The system can request security measures, such as a change of password by the user. In the event of loss or theft, a device can be easily located and its contents deleted at the touch of a button if necessary. The company also maintains absolute control over costs for calls and data traffic. All of these things save time and money and increase security.
