Orange Business Services Partners with MobileIron to Further Support MNCs in Mobility Management

Business Wire
Orange Business Services and MobileIron, a leader in security
and management for mobile apps, documents and devices, are
partnering to launch a new version of Device Management Premium
managed service. Device Management Premium, a smartphone and tablet
management system for fleets of more than 300 devices, uses
MobileIron's technologies and is available on a worldwide
basis.
The partnership with MobileIron takes the existing offer beyond
traditional mobile fleet management functions – user profile and
device management, security policy application, configuration of
embedded apps, mobile personalization – to offer an advanced,
highly secure version of the solution. Available in either a
private or cloud mode, this version features:
- application management: To
address bring your own device (BYOD), fleet managers can create a
secure barrier between personal and professional applications and
data. Each business application will communicate with the company's
server via a distinct and secure tunnel, and the application data
stored on the device will be automatically encrypted.
Administrators can also limit access to certain corporate
applications from personal devices.
- content management: Employees
can view and save the documents they need to work on the go using
their tablet or smartphone. Access to certain resources can be
restricted or limited to read-only based on users' profiles and
data sensitivity. The documents saved will be stored in an isolated
container which the administrator can remotely delete if the device
is lost or stolen.
“A mobile deployment used to mean the company issued 200
smartphones to executives,” said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron. “Now,
it means that every employee in a Global 2000 company is using
mobile apps and accessing corporate content via a mobile device
that may or may not be owned by the company. Enterprise mobility is
complex and our partnership with Orange Business Services brings
together the top technology and services that MNCs need to be able
to make mobile a primary computing platform.”
Already available in a cloud-mode, Device Management Premium
will be available in an integrated version for companies that want
to host it on their own infrastructures. Device Management Premium
is an agnostic solution which works with all fleet and network
operators via WiFi and mobile network. Device Management Premium
helps companies control costs by enabling policies to minimize
roaming and data usage charges and by being billed per device, per
month.
