ionGrid Nexus Enterprise Cracks BYOD
Summary
While this may seem like a simple endeavor from the outside, IT departments are having a tough time adapting to the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend: Employees want to use their own equipment, and end-up putting confidential files on non-secure (or less-secure ) consumer-level web sharing services. You can imagine what the implications can be for a publicly-traded company…Nexus Enterprise has a component that integrates with the existing file storage infrastructure (mainly powered by Microsoft Active Directory). From there, Nexus Enterprise has a information policy module that controls whether a document should be visible from, or send to a device, depending on a number of parameters (user permission, geo-location…) Finally, when the document arrives to the tablet, it is kept in a secure form (it’s vector-based version of the content ) which is never accessible from outside the IonGrid iPad application. Note that at this point, IonGrid supports mainly Microsoft office documents, Adobe PDF and image files. If you’re not a Fortune 500 company, IonGrid already has an affordable solution for small businesses and for personal use that you can download.
