CA Southern Africa has confirmed that CA Technologies is continuing to transform enterprises into being “Mobile First” with the release of its SaaS-based Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution suite and providing zero-day support for iOS 8 across mobile device, application, content and email management.
Further expanding on the industry’s first CA Management Cloud for Mobility portfolio, and based on its patent-pending Smart Containerization technology, this new SaaS solution gives enterprises deployment flexibility, increased agility, and significant cost savings.
“The application economy has made mobility management a cornerstone of employee and business productivity. CA’s new SaaS solution unlocks the full potential of enterprise mobility by focusing on what matters to customers: innovation, efficiency and accelerated development of new mobile apps and services to drive productivity and revenue,” says Andrea Lodolo, CTO, CA Southern Africa.
According to recent Gartner research, “the current global EMM market is roughly 70% on-premises and 30% SaaS, but Gartner projects SaaS uptake to increase as more enterprises realize the challenges of managing EMM/MDM solutions on their own”.
Lodolo highlights that this announcement means that enterprises can now leverage iOS 8 features across SaaS and on-premise deployment models. “In addition, the out-of-the-box iOS8 support – available for all of CA’s EMM products – enables app wrapping, security and management for mobile apps developed using the new SWIFT programming language,” he concludes.
