BoxTone v5.0: Say Yes to Mobile Diversity -- Securely and Cost Effectively
Under pressure from management and users to connect all of those new employee-liable BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, Palm Pre and Windows Mobile smartphones to your network?
If your number one mobility management priority is to say yes to diversity, but you’re worried about maintaining security and control, BoxTone v5.0 is the answer.
Through a combination of the BoxTone Core platform and its SmartMP technology, and an enhanced Asset, Expense & Compliance Management module, BoxTone v5.0 enables you and your IT teams to securely and cost-effectively manage diversity in all its forms including:
- Diverse platforms: BlackBerry Enterprise Server and ActiveSync
- Diverse applications: Email/PIM, Line of Business, Back Office
- Diverse mobile user support requirements: VIPs, Field Workers, Corporate-Liable users, Employee-Liable users
- Diverse expense models: Central billing, chargebacks, stipends
- Diverse compliance requirements: Federal and State regulations
BoxTone v5.0software starts in a multiple-platform environment by auto-discovering and inventorying in real time all of your enterprise-connected smartphones. It collects and maintains a database of more than 40 critical mobile user data points including smartphone model, smartphone ID, wireless carrier, ownership model (employee-liable versus corporate-liable), supporting infrastructure (BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Client Access Server, and Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino mail server), synchronization history and whether a smartphone is BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES)-attached or ActiveSync-attached.
With full visibility to all enterprise-connected smartphones in one heads-up view, you’ll know instantly which smartphones and applications are rogue, unsecure, unauthorized and a potential threat so you have the chance to wipe or kill them before sensitive information is lost.
But managing diversity also means understanding the real value of each mobile platform you certify, calculated as a ratio of mobile user productivity gains over the cost to serve them. So BoxTone v5.0 delivers visibility to smartphone utilization both during and outside normal work hours, to track which mobile users are being more productive and which are a needless additional cost center. Taken together, you’ll optimize mobile spend and improve mobility planning.
And to support your growing mobile deployment, BoxTone also recently released the User Self-Service module, which enables mobile end users to prevent and resolve their own mobile issues, without having to call Help Desk or IT.
