Imerjing business for Ravensoft
Manchester Science Parks based mobile software developer, Ravensoft, has teamed up with specialist IT service provider, Imerja, to provide bespoke smartphone applications for customers using Imerja’s new secure managed mobile service.
The new managed service offering, part of Imerja’s broader m|four services suite, ensures that all corporate smartphones are protected against unauthorised use if lost or stolen, providing data encryption and secure connectivity to ensure they remain fully compliant with company IT security policies. Ravensoft then works with the customer to develop bespoke applications that can take advantage of upgraded security conditions.
Chris Byrne, managing director of Ravensoft, explains: “Once a smartphone has been secured, it has the potential to then be a valuable business tool. For example, a sales person could use it to remotely access a customer database on the move or a lone worker could use it to alert co-workers to their location.
“Mobile working becomes just that, allowing greater flexibility in the workplace while ensuring peace of mind for the company should the smartphone leave the owner’s possession.
“Once this level of security is achieved, we work in partnership with the customer to identify how a bespoke smartphone app might enhance the way employees work or improve business processes.
“We also make sure that the final app will work across all smartphone platforms using our new Ravensoft Node Framework – a cross platform content distribution aimed at giving an exceptional user experience whatever type of mobile you use.”
Ian Jackson, managing director of Imerja, added: “We all know how important it is to secure our computers and laptops, but as the use of smartphones in a business environment becomes the norm, it is imperative this security extends to every mobile device used to access corporate data.
“Once done, the sky is then the limit as to how you can use your smartphone to improve the way you work. Ravensoft has a track record of creating innovative smartphone apps and we are delighted to be offering their services to our customers.”
