Many companies are headed up-embrac-ing the idea of employees using their own devices to access company data and per-form company business, while others are headed down keeping it strictly off-limits. "When you look back over the past 10 years, mobile devices were emerging in the market and were quickly gaining in popularity. We recognized this market op-portunity and created solutions for BYOD devices in a mixed environment with corporate owned devices," says Daniel Hurd, Principal, Complete Tablet Solu-tions (CTS).

Foreseeing the scope of smart de-vices and tablet across various industry sectors, CTS advises customers regarding compliance for various industry standards such as PCI, HIPPA and others.The mobility offerings span industry verticals including retail, energy, health-care, field reps and more. For instance, a government agency needed a solution to permit employees to utilize their iPads for personal and official use. "We helped the agency develop a solution to utilize their iPads in for personal use while off duty and for agency business while on duty. An evaluation process of Mobile Device Management (MDM) software yielded a solution that met their needs," adds Hurd. Containerization and other MDM features, allowed access of sensitive information while segregating personal use, keeping pictures and personal information sepa-rate.As a major player in mobility for over a decade and a leader in the emergence of the BYOD market, CTS has worked with a significant number of customers allowing them to lead in innovation over the years.

For instance, they currently deploy tablet based interactive kiosks in retail locations that support cus-tomer interaction to promote products and offers and encourage customers to sign up to receive services. These kiosks are re-motely managed from a CTS operations center, where they use MDM technology to update the systems and monitor critical functions. CTS is constantly enhancing their managed services and solutions model, mitigating the concerns of their clients who are increasingly embracing the shift to mobility.
