Sapphire Partners With MobileIron to Secure and Manage Smartphones

North England, 20th January, 2012

Consultancy firm Sapphire is delighted to announce that it signed reseller partner agreements with MobileIron, the innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and apps.

As businesses become increasingly mobile, IT needs to support multiple operating systems at scale, ensure enterprise data is secure, and build and deliver mobile apps.  In addition, IT departments are inundated with requests from general users to access corporate networks, email and applications using their own devices and IT struggles to maintain the security of the corporate network.

“Sapphire has seen an increase in demand from our client base,” comments David Horn, Sales Director at Sapphire. “Our clients see the benefits in allowing their users to bring their own devices into the workplace. However, they want full visibility as to how the data on the device is being utilised. Using this information, the client has the power to secure that data properly, without compromising the users privacy – no matter who owns the device.”

MobileIron supports both corporate-liable and individual-liable devices, offering true multi-OS management across all of the leading mobile OS platforms including Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian, webOS, and Windows Phone.

With MobileIron, IT organisations can enforce security policies to protect corporate data using a centralised management solution and enable users to connect Smartphones securely to enterprise resources including email, Wi-Fi and VPN.

“MobileIron is the only company that was purpose-built to address the challenges Mobile IT departments are facing with smart devices and apps,” comments Bob Tinker, CEO of MobileIron. “As the number of organisations looking to invest in mobile security solutions continues to rise, we look forward to working with an established reseller such as Sapphire in order to grow our customer base within the UK.”
