Device Management for iPhone Now Available From Trust Digital on Carahsoft GSA Schedule
Solution Enables Government Agencies to Secure and Centrally Manage the Apple iPhone™
RESTON, VA, June 17, 2009 -- Carahsoft Technology Corp., the trusted government IT solutions provider, today announced the availability of Trust Digital’s Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platform on its GSA schedule. Trust Digital EMM 8.0 provides IT departments with a powerful facility to deploy and protect iPhones and other smartphones enterprise-wide.
"With innovations like superior Web browsing, an intuitive user interface and Wi-Fi connectivity, the 3G iPhone has the potential to be a valuable device for the mobile workforce who often access line of business applications,” said Dan Dearing, vice president of marketing at Trust Digital. “The iPhone is to the Web what BlackBerry was for e-mail, but it lacks the management capabilities of the Blackberry Enterprise Server. IT departments throughout the government require an efficient way to manage and secure the iPhone before they will consider it fully enterprise-ready.”
Trust Digital’s EMM platform addresses these deployment and operational challenges by enabling IT administrators to centrally manage iPhones from the web-based EMM Console that includes an integrated Help Desk. Integration with Microsoft Active Directory for group-based management provides scalable deployment of the iPhone, and compliance enforcement ensures iPhones are used according to an IT department’s standards and policies.
“As the government’s demand for mobile broadband devices such as the iPhone grows, the security threats that target them increase as well,” said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft president. “As Trust Digital’s Master GSA Schedule holder, we are pleased to provide agencies with the technology required to secure and centrally manage these powerful next-generation computing tools.”
Trust Digital EMM 8.0 is available on GSA Schedule No. GS-35F-0131R. For more information, visit www.carahsoft.com/trustdigital/index.php.
