Good Technology Addresses Growing Requirement for True Enterprise Mobility Management with Good Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform Update
July 2014 by Marc Jacob
Good Technology™ announced new features are now available in the Good Dynamics® Secure Mobility Platform, the integrated platform that addresses the needs of all constituents: IT, the end user and mobile application developers. This update addresses the growing requirement across organizations for true enterprise mobility management by providing more IT policy controls, enabling faster development of feature-rich enterprise apps and delivering an enhanced end user experience.
Enterprise mobility is rapidly evolving. Organizations across industries are redesigning business processes with a ‘mobile first’ mentality, deploying mobile app-to-app workflows in place of PC equivalents. Their needs have evolved from simple containment on managed corporate-liable and BYO devices to broadly enabling mobility and collaboration to employees, partners and customers, quickly, without having to compromise on security or usability for their end users.
For enterprise mobile app developers, this update to the Good Dynamics Platform allows for the rapid creation of a new breed of mobile apps that can use server-based services, such as the now available online presence service, to create a richer user experience but without requiring complex server-side programming. For IT, this release provides additional security controls and enables the deployment of mobile apps that allow users to be more productive.
Additional features in this update include:
More enterprise IT policy controls.
• Policy to enable secure cut/copy/paste of data between Good-secured apps for iOS devices
• Policy to ensure FIPS-mode operation of Good-secured apps, enabling adherence to corporate requirements for FIPS-compliance
• Ability to route all client traffic through the Good Proxy server, reducing the need for highly complex route mapping
Ability to build better apps, faster.
• Online presence service is now available to commercial and enterprise mobile app developers
• Support for 64-bit apps on iOS, allowing for the creation of Good-secured apps that perform CPU-intensive operations (e.g., handling large data sets, image processing, etc.) faster
• Support multi-tasking on iOS 7, allowing development of Good-secured apps that can continue operating even when in the background
Improved user experience.
• Refreshed enterprise app store user interface
• Support for easy activation in the enterprise app store client
This update is now available for customers of the Good Dynamics Platform.
