With BES12, we don’t have to worry about the security of the data on the devices our employees choose. We can provide our users with the mobile device experience that best suits their needs and simplify our EMM, with the peace of mind that our corporate data remains secure,” Prabhu added. Essar Group is also trialing BES12 Cloud for even greater scalability and flexibility. Additionally, the organisation is testing a range of value-added solutions such as BBM Meetings and BBM Protected as their workforce becomes more mobilised.
