Enabling a Flexible Work Culture at Ireland’s Leading Business Membership Organisation

IBEC had already decided on a tablet of choice for its employees. CWSI was selected as IBEC’s preferred partner, after extensive evaluation, to design a solution that would be compatible with the chosen device, incorporating both Enterprise Mobility Management from MobileIron and Enterprise File Sharing from Acronis.

MobileIron’s EMM capabilities enable IT to secure and manage mobile devices across multiple operating systems, providing secure corporate email, automatic device configuration, certificate-based security, and selective wipe of enterprise data for both corporate and user-owned devices.

Granular controls based on a variety of parameters such as device-type, device-ownership and employee role are available.

MobileIron integrates with IBEC’s backend enterprise IT platforms such as Active Directory and enables access to applications within a “secure container” which is password protected and encrypted.

Acronis Access governs file sharing, access management and version control so users can access their file shares from mobile devices, PCs or Macs, significantly improving end-user productivity while providing IT administrators with visibility, security and control.

The combined solution allowed for a clear separation between personal and business data, alleviating both employee privacy concerns and IT compliance concerns. Should an employee leave the company or lose a device, IT can now selectively wipe only the corporate data from a device.

IBEC IT administrators can manage the lifecycle of each device and its applications, from registration to retirement with appropriate security policies.
