As users increasingly turn to smartphones, laptops, tablets and wearable devices to view, share and manage information, enterprises must adapt and offer users the same level of functionality and security they are used to when using a desktop computer. Accellion–s new mobile features provide end users the ability to access content securely whenever and wherever.
“Accellion continues to innovate in its sweet spot of secure mobile productivity,” commented Terri McClure, Senior Analyst with ESG. “They truly understand that enterprise employees are –always on– and therefore need convenient but also secure access to files and documents at any time and in any location. Their recent mobile enhancements, particularly integration with Microsoft Office on iOS and the ability to push and synchronize content onto mobile devices should further enable the safe and easy accessing, sharing and managing of content across all devices.”
Accellion–s new kiteworks mobile features include the following key capabilities:
Integration with Microsoft Office for iOS: Enables users to use native Microsoft Office applications on iOS devices and allows them to securely open, edit and save files automatically in kiteworks. This provides another choice of editors in addition to the secure integrated editor that is included with the kiteworks mobile apps.
Mobile Sync and Push: Provides end users the ability to select files for offline use that are automatically synchronized to their mobile devices. In addition, content owners can also push documents to the mobile devices of their collaborators and content consumers automatically. This ensures that critical documents such as a product price list or sales brochure are always up to date on the users– devices. Users may also choose to enable these features only while connected to a WiFi network in order to preserve mobile data usage.
