The MobileIron-supported BYOD program allows employees to select their own mobile devices, maximizing productivity and satisfaction – resulting into reduction in IT costs and a secured corporate data. When an employee joins the program, the system automatically creates a role-based security profile that keeps devices secure.
“Whether devices are company-issued or employee-purchased, MobileIron helps us keep our data protected both over the airwaves and on the devices. The container-based encryption keeps stored data from being consumed by the wrong people if a device is lost or stolen,” said Kalman Tiboldi, chief business innovation officer at TVH.
“About 85 percent of our daily activity involves the Internet. MobileIron supports our app strategy by providing us with the technology foundation for a secure company app store with the ability to push apps out to employees automatically,” Tiboldi said.
