Telecom Lead America: Sprint has recently launched BYOD
Management that will deliver cost savings while allowing employees to use their
preferred device for work purposes for more productivity.
The BYOD solution from Sprint enables enterprises to deploy
and manage elements of a BYOD program.
The BYOD management service assists in defining and
enforcing compliance of BYOD policies within the workforce.
The Sprint solution also enables organizations to secure
corporate data on employee-owned devices with mobile device management and
security (MDM&S) capabilities.
Utilizing the BYOD solution, enterprises can manage the
process for employees to be reimbursed for mobile devices and/or services that
align with company policies. It offers detailed reporting/analysis to keep
track of BYOD employees and devices, while providing a customized Web portal to
make it easy for employees to learn more, opt-in and register their personal
device for the program.
John Dupree, vice president of business sales, Sprint, said
its new BYOD management service is a simple, turnkey solution that eliminates
this challenge by bringing together key elements from Device Management and
Mobility Management offers and adding the critical features needed to manage a
BYOD environment.
Sprint is teaming with Vision Wireless, a mobile solutions
provider, to offer BYOD Management.
In 2011 Sprint launched the Mobile Security Council to bring
together key players in the mobile ecosystem to address protection, safety and
security needs important to consumers and businesses. Charter members of the
council are Lookout, Cisco, IBM, Juniper Networks, Motorola Mobility along with
its subsidiary 3LM, and Samsung.
In addition, to ensure that demand for connectivity for
mobility solutions will be met, Sprint has embarked on a multiyear network
initiative, Network Vision, designed to enhance customers’ network experience
with faster data speeds, improved voice quality and easier connectivity. Sprint
expects to complete the majority of Network Vision by the end of 2013.
