Written by Zones | Apr 9, 2015 4:30:21 PM

The explosion of mobile devices has paved the way for the most connected workforce ever, but does your mobile strategy address the ever growing security threats that come with the change?

Minimizing threats while maximizing worker mobility and productivity requires a holistic approach that addresses every aspect of the existing infrastructure, including wired and wireless networks, unified communications compatibility, security, and cloud services, as well as plans for mobile device management, device selection, app development, activation services, and, ultimately, deployment.

A better perspective

Since the earliest days of the mobile technology era, Zones has been helping customers sort through the noise and hype to establish effective and powerful mobility solutions that transform businesses. Beyond simply selecting a device, the Zones team of mobility experts can design, deploy and secure every aspect of an organization’s mission-critical mobility platform.

The Zones mobility practice helps clients understand and overcome the challenges they face when launching or expanding mobility initiatives in the organizations.

Zones has been instrumental in the strategic design and deployment of many successful customer mobility initiatives leveraging end-user devices from Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and integrating data center and networking technologies from partners like Avaya, Cisco, Intel®, Mobile Iron, and Sophos.

For one national retailer, Zones drove the conceptualization and installation of a true mobile point-of-sale system, where sales associates roam the aisles armed with mobile devices that let them complete a sale wherever needed. For a global food & beverage chain, Zones worked to reimagine how and when orders are placed, including orders submitted on mobile devices before a customer even walks into the restaurant. For multiple healthcare organizations, Zones has leveraged mobile technology to craft point-of-care solutions that allow electronic health records to be updated in real time at the bedside – or virtually anywhere in the hospital.

  • Activations
