The FTSE 100 firm has signed MobileIron to provide its workforce secure access to the corporate network and applications from any mobile device, whether corporate- or personally-owned.

The group is also developing its mobile app strategy using MobileIron's App Storefront for the deployment and security of both internal and external mobile apps.

Land Securities uses the iPad to make "significant savings", including reducing the printing costs for the large portfolio brochures it produces to share with potential tenants and retailers.

Graham Gibbs, infrastructure project manager at Land Securities, says his team has now developed an enterprise mobility strategy that can extend secure corporate email and network access to iPads, and address growing demand to use personal smartphones such as iPhones, in addition to corporate-owned Blackberrys, for business.

Gibbs said: "We sought a mobile device management solution that could ensure any device with network access was visible, able to be securely managed by the IS team and used safely and efficiently for professional purposes, while still enabling personal use and experience."
