Cross-government compliant Mobile Device Management
Mobile Mentor provides cross-government compliant Mobile
Device Management
service in New Zealand
29 August
2012 - Enterprise mobile solutions provider, Mobile
Mentor,
launches its locally hosted cross-government
compliant Mobile Device
Management (MDM) service for the
public sector.
The solution is offered in partnership
with New Zealand's leading
Infrastructure-as-a-Service
provider, Revera.
Both companies are part of the
newly formed Stack Alliance, a group of
leading ICT
companies offering locally hosted services and solutions to
the
public sector in New Zealand.
MDM services have
been available to New Zealand enterprises and
government
for about 2 years using an off-shore hosting
model. However, off-shore
hosting is a concern for
government agencies that need to ensure their
user's
credentials are stored within NZ.
With today's
announcement, Mobile Mentor is addressing these public
sector
concerns around data sovereignty and is offering
an MDM service that is
locally hosted in Revera's
cross-government certified Homeland data centres.
Mobile Mentor's MDM platform is provided by AirWatch, the
world's leader in
enterprise-grade Mobile Device
Management. Through the use of Airwatch,
Mobile Mentor
can provide 'over-the-air' enrolment and configuration
of
smartphones and tablets, policy enforcement,
application management, a
secure document container and
security measures such as passcode
enforcement, remote
wiping and locking of devices.
Mobile Mentor and
Airwatch have been working together since mid 2011
and
have already deployed on-premise MDM infrastructure
and cloud based services
for government organisations in
New Zealand and Australia.
Clients can choose from a
number of service options, ranging from software
licenses
only to a more comprehensive MDM service integrated with
the
client's Active Directory and a Secure Email Gateway.
MDM typically forms part of a broader mobile
management service that
includes 24x7 specialist mobile
service desk, hot-swap hardware
replacements, mobile
expense management and mobile policy consulting.
