Deploying Open Mobile and Wi-Fi for smartphones (last of 5-part series)
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012 Han Dong, Sr. Product Marketing ManagerWe had quite a break from our Top 5 list for showing the value of deploying Open Mobile and using Wi-Fi for smartphones. For our fifth and final reason, we wanted to offer reason not only for the end user, but for IT especially.
5. Premium “command and control” services + Integration with Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions
iPass is not just a Wi-Fi network service. We also offer a broad range of services designed to assist IT managers to control the deployment, provisioning, access, and cost of Wi-Fi for mobile workers. The Open Mobile portal provides the dashboard for Administrators to rapidly create and customize Open Mobile profiles that define the user access and experience for multiple departments and/or groups within the organization. These profile(s) help IT manage the wireless access and costs incurred by specific categories of mobile users – from global executives to regional sales and field support personnel.
Additionally, iPass has relationships with leading MDM vendors such as MobileIron, to develop integrated solutions of connectivity, provisioning, and secure device management to assist larger organizations who are deploying smartphones and tablets across the enterprise.
