Our unique business model necessitates engineers to carry devices – whether they’re iPads or android devices – to work efficiently on the move,” said Ravinder Pal Singh- Global Chief Information and Technology Officer, Air Works. “We partnered with AirWatch to help us on our mobility journey as we believed their technology could help us securely manage the applications, content and devices our teams use, without impacting the efficiency and quality we pride ourselves on.”
