BYO Computing and Mobility
There has been much talk recently concerning the concepts of the “consumerisation” of IT and the increasingly popular BYO computing concept that IT Managers are now having to face. As IT professionals we need to have a solution to these new complexities as there is going to be constant pressure from the business and from users to be more agile and flexible when it comes to working arrangements and the devices they want to use.
Thomas Duryea are leading the way with being able to offer complete Mobility and/or BYO computing solutions. We partner with vendors Citrix and Symantec to be able to offer solutions around:
BYO Computing & Mobility Strategy consulting – Deciding on a strategy to be able to cope with the increasing complexities of managing the influx of mobile devices is the first part to solving this new challenge for IT. Whether it’s revisiting exisiting policies to ensure they are aligned to a new strategy, or setting up a whole BYO computing program with a customised web portal for users to be able to take advantage of – TD can assist with covering all the bases to ensure any new Mobility and/or BYO computing program is effectively implemented. Application and Desktop Virtualisation – Transform desktops and applications into a service that can be delivered to any user on any device. Using Citrix technology you can securely deliver individual Windows, web and SaaS applications, or full virtual desktops, to PCs, Macs, tablets, iPads, smartphones, laptops and thin clients – all with a high-definition user experience. This is done by decoupling the operating system, apps and data from the underlying PC hardware and moving them to the datacentre, where they can be centrally managed and secured. Instead of juggling thousands of static desktop images, IT can manage and update the OS and apps once, from one location, then deliver desktops and apps that are customised to meet the performance, security and mobility requirements of each individual user. Mobile Device Management – A different approach to enabling Mobility solutions – this approach suits those organisations who want to distribute internally developed mobile applications or to provide recommendations for mobile applications from public AppStores. While Application and Desktop Virtualisation mirrors the same operating system and applications that a user would interact with in their daily roles (9 times out of 10 this would be a Windows environment) – Mobile Device Management works to deploy custom mobile-developed applications to users to be able to get the best experience from the device they are using. TD partners with Symantec in this space and is able to deliver their Mobile Management 7.1 technology which allows businesses to confidently enable new mobile productivity by facilitating scalable, secure and integrated smartphone and tablet deployments.Safeguard your data on the move with Symantec mobile solutions, you can integrate mobile security into a broader enterprise security model.
Symantec - Robust, reliable protection for mobile devicesThomas Duryea can provide trials of either of these technologies, or set up a Proof of concept within your environment to be able to test-drive any of these solutions. To find out more contact us today.
