Take a quick tour of Mobile Control – to control spending and security
Thursday, March 11th, 2010 Dave Gutierrez, Sr. Training Manager
Here’s another tour of one of our iPass Open Mobile services, Mobile Control. I have done a series of these video tours to give you an idea of what’s involved in enterprise mobility and how easy a cloud-based, self-service solution can be. In fact, I had to do the demo on a colleagues laptop, which didn’t matter, since this is an internet-based platform.
You have employees traveling to lots of countries (or at a client, or at home, or at their local coffeeshop…). They carry a variety of laptops, netbooks and smartphones. They forget about roaming charges. They forget that they really should be on the VPN at times. Mobile Control takes the worry about security and costs out of your mobility management.
Mobile Control gives you a single point of control to enforce security measures and control spending. IT managers can set up connectivity and device-oriented policies, to control internet and corporate access. For example, you can restrict an application from running at certain times, like on an external connection.
I will have new video tours in the coming weeks. If there are certain features or capabilities that you want to learn more about – let me know via the comments below. It would be fun to dive into some additional details.
If you want more information on Mobile Control, we have a Solution Brief for all the services.
To get a quick tour of the iPass Open Mobile Platform, via the self-service Portal, see my previously posted demo.
