SkyDox Enterprise Mobility Solutions

With so many products and solutions available today for implementing enterprise mobility projects, IT departments are faced with a challenged with finding a solution that best fits end-user requirements while maintaining the security and compliance framework set by the organization. 

This in itself makes the ICT landscape more complex – even before bringing the consumerization of IT, the explosion of digital device formats and corresponding operating systems, and the preferences of the varying user groups being brought into play. Add to this the fact that a growing range of consumer applications are tempting enterprise users to share files and collaborate in an unsecure environment, which in turn means that organizations may lose important information or expose confidential intellectual property or infringe privacy, data back-up and disclosure legislation.

The proliferation of devices brings both opportunity and challenges to the customer-facing enterprise. Organizations are often faced with a choice of allowing individuals to download and use of untested mobile applications onto corporate or personal mobile devices with a or without or closing the channel completely. Today neither of these approaches works as they should, with most users finding a work-around for sharing files and collaborating using unapproved services and devices, which remain unsynchronized and do not facilitate an auditable activity trail by user or file type.
