Specialist solutions provider Roan Systems has added a unified enterprise mobility management solution to its extensive portfolio. Available as a fully hosted and managed service as well as a standalone product, SOTI MobiControl is a secure, all-in-one offering that allows companies to easily manage mobile devices, applications, content, e-mail and security.
Frikkie Koegelenberg, CCO of Roan Systems, says with the bring your own device (BYOD) trend, and the plethora of mobile devices entering the workplace, enterprise are finding managing the mobile environment a challenge.
"Smartphones, tablets, and smart peripherals have become essential to our productivity and driving growth. However, these can be difficult to manage with point solutions. MobiControl removes the complexity of mobile device management (MDM) by providing a single management console."
He adds that in addition to providing one central management console, SOTI ensures a lower total cost of ownership, thanks to its rapid, "out-of-the-box" provisioning. "In today's fast-paced business world, companies can't afford to spend days provisioning an MDM solution. With MobiControl, device enrolment, provisioning, retirement and security are quick and easy. Content, device and application management are just as simple."
The centralised console offers customisable dashboards, allowing administrators to see key device and usage information at a glance, including characteristics such as status of connectivity, device information, location and active policies. Similarly, adding applications is done via the Application Catalog, which is an easily-accessed central repository of approved apps.
"MobiControl has perfected the art of allowing users to take ownership of MDM, alleviating IT's workload. In addition to being able to access company content, applications and messages through one application, users can access the MYOD (manage your own device) self-service portal to reset passwords, wipe data or lock a misplaced, lost or stolen device," Koegelenberg says.
He adds that MobiControl also offers over-the-air device configurations for enrolment, meaning users can enrol their own devices. "Starting as merely a security solution, MDM has become increasingly complicated over the years. By allowing for self-service provisioning and management, MobiControl makes the lives of the IT department much easier."
Koegelenberg points out that by saving time through MobiControl's self-service features, IT can focus on important components such as security. Offering authentication, certificate management and data encryption, as well as secure Web browsing and real-time malware scanning, MobiControl protects against both internal and external threats. In addition, the software allows for the creation of e-mail sharing and forwarding policies to protect against data leakage and inadvertent disclosure of sensitive company information.
"MobiControl has added an additional security feature in the form of accurate geo-location device tracking and user behaviour monitoring. This allows companies to create a boundary around a specific area to trigger alerts and pre-defined actions when devices enter or leave the boundary," he explains.
"One of the smartest and easiest to use MDM solutions in the world, MobiControl offers complete peace of mind. Extremely customisable, and boasting a number of unique features, SOTI MobiControl is the MDM solution every company should have."
