BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (Mobile World
Congress) – Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility,
today announced support for the rapidly expanding ecosystem of
connected things and wearables on the Good Dynamics® Secure
Mobility Platform. Good is the only enterprise mobility management
(EMM) vendor mobilizing apps and content for secure access on
wearables. Good Dynamics enables security and protection of
business data accessed by and stored on wearables and shared
between other Good-secured apps. Good is also enabling a new era of
productivity with access to corporate email and calendars on paired
wearable devices through Good Work™.
The Internet of Things represents the next frontier for secure
mobility, extending beyond smartphones and tablets to include
connected cars, smart meters, vending machines, wearables and other
non-traditional connected devices in the enterprise. With IDC
estimating that the installed and connected base of IoT units will
reach approximately 30 billion in 20201, the impact on
the enterprise will be huge.
Wearables are already enhancing productivity by keeping
employees connected without having to reach for a paired
smartphone. For example, with Good Work a user now has the ability
to glance at a wristwatch to quickly scan email or accept a meeting
invitation. But much more is possible with Good-secured apps for
wearables and the Internet of Things. For example, a mechanic on a
manufacturing line could use a wearable to scan parts for defects
and automatically log an order for repairs.
"As more connected devices proliferate across the enterprise,
it's imperative to understand the implications they present so that
organizations can permit increased employee productivity without
endangering sensitive data," said Christy
Wyatt, chairman and CEO of Good Technology. "Good has a long
history of innovation and securing data across a large ecosystem of
devices."
The Good Dynamics Platform enables the development of secure
mobile apps for a broad range of features on wearable devices, such
as mobile identity and access management features including
two-factor authentication and access control. For example, a
fitness tracker or a smartwatch could be used to unlock access to
Good Work or any other Good-secured app running on a
smartphone.
Support for Android Wear with Good Work brings a broad range of
interaction and collaboration to the wrist. Users can get push
notifications, accept or reject meeting requests, and respond to
emails using voice recognition or preset responses all from the
wearable. Centralized policy controls allow IT departments to
enable or disable wearable capabilities for Good Work and for any
other Good-secured app built on the Good Dynamics platform.
"Wearable devices give people powerful new ways to access the
information and services that are most important to them, whatever
they may be," said Rick Osterloh,
president of Motorola Mobility. "While much of the focus has been
on consumers, there is also a huge opportunity for wearables to
better connect people to the productivity services and applications
that have become so essential in the workplace."
The Good Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform is immediately
available for the development of Good-secured apps for wearables
and other connected things. Good Work is immediately available to
use on any Android Wear device, as well as a variety of other
small-factor devices.
