Enterprises are experiencing an unprecedented amount of growth and with this growth comes a change to the way employees want to work.
Rolta AdvizeX prides itself on being experts at solving the current challenges facing enterprises. Last week we presented a very informative webinar that covered one of the crucial areas that Rolta AdvizeX is providing solutions for our customers—Mobility. We delved into the challenges our customers are facing with regards to mobility and then highlighted one of the solutions Rolta AdvizeX uses to help our customers, VMware’s Workspace ONE.
The factors driving mobility are primarily employee driven; 60% of employees would prefer to use a personal device for both work and play. Their reasons are simple; they want to haul around less stuff and they want to simplify the switch between work and home. Complicating the matter is that a mobility solution is not as simple as allowing employees to bring their own devices to work. The fact is 30% of employees at companies without a BYOD policy are using their own devices at work despite that fact.
IT used to believe that if they did not configure an employee’s device the employee would not be able to figure out how to use it at work. Today, especially with millennials entering the workforce, employees are savvy enough to do it on their own.
Mobile apps are changing the way we work and play. 75% of our customers are using at least one mobility app deployed from an app store. The original mobile app was email, but today there is a huge proliferation of both devices and apps. Our customers are experiencing the pressure of consumerization. Their employees expect the same level of service they get from their personal app world in their enterprise app world.
Let’s take, for example, file sharing. Employees use Dropbox and Google Drives at home and they want the same level of interoperability in their work and personal lives. From IT’s perspective they want happy end users, but their number one responsibility is security. All apps and devices must be able to be managed and audited to be deemed secure in the enterprise.
VMware has a solution for enterprise’s facing these challenges, Workspace ONE. Here’s a list of what we love about Workspace ONE.
- A centralized Application Catalog that is accessible from IOS, Windows, Android or your preferred Web browser.
- The ability to publish all types of apps and tailor the branding for your enterprise.
- Self-service access from any device, giving your employee’s the power of choice.
- Enables IT and employees to work together, not against each other.
- Provides policy and comprehensive levels of security.
- Easily set-up criteria or conditional and contextual access.
- Seamlessly ties in with the AirWatch Mobile Device Management solution.
Yogi Berra, said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it!” For the majority of enterprises this fork is mobility. We believe that a successfully executed mobility strategy can change the way your employees work for the better and Workspace ONE is just one example of the mobility solutions available. We realize choosing and implementing a mobility solution can be a dangerous endeavor on your own.
That’s why bringing along a trusted advisor, like Rolta AdvizeX, to provide the depth and breadth of knowledge and experience will help you craft a mobility solution custom tailored for your employees and how they want to work day-to-day. ▪
