Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) Balancing ease of access to corporate information with security and control
Whitepaper
No “One Size Fits All” There is no ‘one size fits all’ for Enterprise Mobility. The adoption of mobile solutions depends on user demands, the business case for adoption, security constraints and the level of investment. The end game in mobility is a seamless environment between the desktop and the mobile device – making work on the road as easy as in the office. Users are clamouring for remote and mobile access to their personal, departmental and corporate file shares, to Sharepoint, to their intranet and their mail and other business applications. Providing it has security implications, but users are ever more powerful in deciding what is enabled for mobile use. The tools to manage and control this world are critical in avoiding security disasters and user dissatisfaction.
Secure working on a wide range of mobile devices, laptop and desktop platform BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) must be managed under this umbrella.
Even for those organisations not actively
pursuing a BYOD policy, it exists in almost every company, as does mixed personal and corporate use of corporately owned devices, which presents similar security challenges. And of course BYOD means enabling the same solutions on iOS, Windows Phone 8 and Android. Excitor provides an EMM Suite to get users working on the road without compromising business security. The suite is componentised but integrated, letting companies start with the tools that fit their immediate demands, knowing that future needs can be met by adding components – all on an ever increasing range of devices, form factors, operating systems and user interfaces.

Secure Remote Workplace Access Citrix, RDP and Web Access, without VPN Bringing your office workplace along with you on your mobile device may not be enough to cover all your needs while away from your office.

Excitor pioneered the concept of a “per app VPN” that isolates the remote PC from your network while managing individually encrypted connections between clients on the remote PC and services made available on the network.
Even for those organisations not actively pursuing a BYOD policy, it exists in almost every company For instance, access from your own PC at home to the PC inside your office allowing you to do all your work as if you are physically at the office. A USB token, with a built in Smartcard for strong two factor authentication provides maximum flexibility to use any PC, anywhere.
