The era of BYOD, where employees are using their own devices and not necessarily one device; has brought about a revolution in the workplace but not without major challenges to the secure management of IT.

CA Southern Africa has announced the local availability of a CA Technologies global mobility promotion aimed at Enterprise mobility management.

Andrea Lodolo, CTO CA Southern Africa, confirms that a free CA Mobile Device Management perpetual license can be attained with the purchase of another Enterprise Mobility Management product.

“South Africa has embraced the BYOD revolution. This is an extremely exciting opportunity for the SA market. Essentially by purchasing any one of the standalone Enterprise Mobility Management products comprising: CA Mobile Application Management; CA Mobile Content Management or CA Mobile Email Management; the customer will receive CA Mobile Device Management for free.

“CA’s Enterprise Mobility Management suite has been designed to keep enterprise data safe, secure and managed. The suite offers comprehensive coverage through the full range of products but also provides modular options aimed at managing BYOD for device, app, content and e-mail.”

Lodolo says that enabling and protecting the open enterprise is the mantra of today’s application economy.

“Identity is the new security perimeter that makes it possible. CA Technologies’ extensive expertise in security has been extended to the mobile solutions to accelerate delivery of secure, new applications, and help ensure access to the right users on their devices to help drive business efficiencies,” he concludes.
