Fujitsu has helped enterprises achieve greater employee productivity by enabling mobile access to secure data, applications and communications, with the launch of Fujitsu Managed Infrastructure Service Managed Mobile.
Originally launched in 2009, this solution has been substantially developed to extend Fujitsu’s capability from pure Mobile Device Management (MDM) to a true enterprise-grade mobility solution.
The consumerisation of IT is challenging the workplace and IT departments, as the line blurs between employees’ work and personal lives. Fujitsu’s world-class workplace management and workplace services around its managed mobile solution address the security and compliance issues that to date have seriously constrained the adoption of BYOD and mobility at enterprise level.
As a leader in desktop virtualisation and cloud services, Fujitsu is helping its customers to provide a more agile workplace which fosters innovation, by enabling their employees to securely integrate with workplace applications and data.
While companies can now safely embrace the mobility technologies needed to propel their businesses forward, individual employees can productively and confidently use the devices and apps that best suit their needs.
This is because Fujitsu has adopted a role-based approach to the deployment, management and security of all brands of smartphone, tablet or laptop. With a holistic view of the mobile environment this approach represents a major evolution from device-centric approaches that have until now dominated this space.
For enterprises striving to unlock their productivity potential, Fujitsu’s Managed Mobile enables their mobile strategy to embrace BYOD. Information is made available whenever and wherever it is required, while safeguarding enterprise governance.
It is a highly scalable, enterprise-grade solution wrapped with Fujitsu Managed Services for quality-assured delivery, including market leading cloud systems administration and 24/7 end-user support.
Fujitsu’s information security know-how and cloud expertise as an end-to-end service provider also provides management peace-of-mind to enjoy the benefits of the service knowing that it is being managed by experts.
Fujitsu’s Managed Mobile is powered by Citrix XenMobile Enterprise. This technology also allows Fujitsu to integrate with other virtual desktop solutions, enabling seamless access to information across the business that is synchronised and uniformly presented, irrespective of the user’s chosen device, operating system or location.
Importantly, Managed Mobile securely segregates personal and corporate data, and so reduces the likelihood of corporate data loss.
Fujitsu’s innovation in this area is borne from the accumulation of over 7 000 mobile-related business deals. Managed Mobile expands the solution scope from an MDM service to a complete Mobile Enterprise Solution to include:
* Mobile device management with secure mail, browser and document management applications, across all applications (mobile apps, Web apps, Windows apps) and for all devices (mobile devices, PCs and Macs).
* Unified App Store integrating enterprise and public app stores.
* Citrix as the key underlying technology – currently, the myriad aspects of mobility (management, network controls, virtualisation, integration, collaboration) are addressed by multiple, point solution vendors. By building on the Citrix platform, all aspects are integrated under the optimised mobile infrastructure.
* Seamlessly integrated with Virtual Desktop Solutions;
* Federated Identity and Single Sign On features;
* Follow-me data functionality; and
* Both cloud-based and on-premise service provisioning and delivery.
The launch of Fujitsu’s Managed Mobile is a key component of the recently announced Fujitsu Mobile Initiative and represents the latest of Fujitsu’s ongoing efforts to leverage its vertical integration and customisation capabilities to respond to the diverse mobile technology needs of customers and society.
Through this initiative, Fujitsu is developing an end-to-end services portfolio that strengthens work style and lifestyle choice and innovation.
Fujitsu’s long-term vision is to create a Human Centric intelligent society, where people are enabled to freely achieve their full potential and to instinctively feel secure and in control.
Progress toward this vision is greatly supported by the company’s dedication to end-to-end optimisation of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems. Fujitsu’s Managed Mobile is one of a number of Fujitsu innovations that will help customers in this goal.
