The New Mobile Enterprise: Hundreds of Apps, Thousands of Users, Millions of Documents PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 7, 2012 - MobileIron Establishes the Foundation for Apps-Based Computing MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In the next 12-18 months, every major company around the world will have hundreds of mobile apps being used by thousands of users with access millions of documents. Mobile apps and content are becoming the primary way people do their work. This represents a fundamental computing shift that is as significant as the transition from mainframes to PCs. Building on its history of innovation, MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, content, and devices, today announced the first complete security and management foundation for Mobile IT to make this transition to apps-based computing. Delivering Apps at Scale: MobileIron Application Delivery Network Problem: In the BlackBerry era, a small percentage of employees carried smartphones, and they each used one application: wireless email. In the post- BlackBerry era, most employees will carry mobile devices, and they will collectively use hundreds of apps to do their work. The task of provisioning hundreds of apps to thousands of people will crush corporate networks under the bandwidth requirements of fast and reliable downloads. This problem is aggravated by the sheer size of the content-rich mobile apps many organizations are now building.
