Good Technology Introduces 7 More Mobile Enterprise Apps Secured by Good DynamicsJan 14, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Good Technology, a company focusing on secure enterprise mobility solutions, announced seven new additions to its Good Dynamics ecosystem of third-party business productivity applications. According to a release, these additions include apps to edit Microsoft Office and Adobe files, collaboration software from Thomson Reuters, and app development software to help enhance productivity. Each of these enterprise apps were developed leveraging the Good Dynamics mobile application platform and patent-pending Good Dynamics AppKinetics technology that enables the secure exchange of data within and between mobile applications. The new mobile applications augment business worker collaboration while safeguarding enterprise data at rest and in transit through a secure workflow. A survey by CIO Custom Solutions Group reports that knowledge workers spend 28 hours per week writing emails, searching for information and collaborating internally. With two-thirds of the North American and European workforce reporting that they work outside of their corporate office at least occasionally every month, according to Forrester Research, it's imperative that business leaders initiate programs that keep their workforce productive and connected while mobile and remote. With Good Dynamics AppKinetics, the Company said developers can engineer apps to securely exchange information within and between applications on a single device without jeopardizing data security, employees' confidentiality or user experience.This app-to-app interoperability allows companies to create workflows amongst a broader ecosystem of business productivity applications that can aid business processes and augment employee collaboration, which affects customer service and satisfaction. "In today's BYO environment, employees not only want to bring their personal devices to work, but also the business applications they know and use in their personal lives. Enterprise workers just want to get their jobs done and when IT tries to 'restrict' access to certain apps, employees often find ways around those policies in order to utilize the apps they prefer," said Herve Danzelaud, vice president, Business Development and Alliances, Good Technology. "Our growing ecosystem of secure, third-party, enterprise apps include the most popular apps in the app stores today - the ones employees are already using. Thanks to the Good Dynamics ecosystem, IT can now say 'yes!' to employees and boost productivity while protecting enterprise data."
