GroundControl New Release Enables iOS Solutions for Healthcare, Retail and MultinationalsGroundControl Solutions, Inc., the industry leader in automated mass provisioning and deployment for iOS in the enterprise, announced enhanced-software with broad based iOS 9 compatibility, "single console" interoperability with AirWatch, device personalization and supervision and control in any geography. With its upgraded SaaS (News - Alert) platform, GroundControl addresses critical needs common to enterprise segments experiencing strong iOS growth including healthcare, retail and multinational businesses. GroundControl CTO Aaron Freimark drove the new developments based on customer requirements. "GroundControl's personalization and shared device solutions coupled with the recent Apple iOS 9 release is a great fit for enterprises using shared and corporate liable iOS devices," Freimark said. "Using AirWatch (News - Alert) APIs to deliver a single console for IT management makes the overall experience seamless and compelling." Multinational businesses will also find GroundControl features important for dispersed global footprints according to Jim Kiles, GroundControl's Managing Director. "Security requirements force enterprises to supervise iOS devices in many geographies. We are now the only way to do that and some of the most important global financial services organizations have figured that out," Kiles said. GroundControl technology is already helping hospitals and medical treatment facilities with shared devices meet HIPPA privacy requirements, assuring the security of private patient information on facility owned iOS devices used by patients and medical professionals. Matthew Woestehoff, Director of Operations at Foundation, who manages GroundControl implementations at several healthcare facilities, is an early adopter. "With GroundControl we can now erase and redeploy every device on a daily basis, putting us in complete compliance with government regulations. Even better - it requires very little IT manpower to manage. Our overhead goes from a full time person or two at every facility to a couple of hours of maintenance a month." Freimark added that it is the same story in retail, where stores are moving critical operations closer to customers through iOS device deployments. "The combination of AirWatch and GroundControl enables even easier configuration, deployment and supervision through onsite Mac or PC systems. Managing critical updates such as iOS 9 and ongoing iOS security patches is another common, important retail requirement where GroundControl excels," he said.
