Good adds iPhone Management and Compliance Manager to Good for Enterprise
June 2010 by Marc Jacob
Good Technology™ announced the release of its iPhone® Management offering to provide "whole device" and compliance management for iPhone, iPad®, and iPod touch® devices. Good’s iPhone Management offering is part of the Good for Enterprise™ - iPhone solution and includes a built-in Compliance Manager function. This new offering enables IT administrators to easily define and distribute configuration profiles and enforce compliance policies for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices using the same Web-based Good Mobile Control™ console that also manages their other Android, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices.
With its enhanced management and compliance features, Good for Enterprise allows IT administrators to control exactly which iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models, OS versions, and Good client versions are allowed to access their network while preventing non-compliant devices from accessing enterprise networks, applications, and data.
iPhone Management features and functions include:
• Simplified Web-based management and policy configuration, including the ability to define password policies, WiFi/VPN settings, and application usage restrictions
• Signed and encrypted over-the-air (OTA) distribution of configuration profiles
• Profile installation verification and reporting
• Ability to selectively set "whole device" and/or Good client password policies
• Ability to selectively wipe "whole device" and/or enterprise data
Compliance Manager features and functions include:
• Non-compliant device detection
• Device type control
• OS version control
• Good client version control
Good Also Adds "Self Service" Option
In addition to the iPhone Management and Compliance Manager functions, Good also recently enhanced Good Mobile Control with a new Self Service option. With the Good Mobile Control Self Service option, IT administrators can empower end users and reduce IT help desk costs by allowing end users to easily perform routine mobile device management actions on their own, such as activating a new mobile device, or initiating data wipe, without having to generate an IT support call.
