For its new mobile management platform Land Securities sought data, voice and text reporting analytics, security requirements such as encryption over the air and on the device, Active Directory integration, and network access control in addition to features like remote lock and data wipe when devices are lost or stolen.

"Our goal was to replicate a BlackBerry as much as possible in terms of creating a similar experience with an iPhone and an iPad," said Gibbs.

Gibbs said MobileIron maintained the native Apple experience for users and delivered the required automatic updating of devices.

The company has already developed its first internal app for productivity and has integrated it into its enterprise app storefront. The IS team can set policy boundaries for the app based upon the user's role in the business, mobile platform and device security needs, and then publish the app for end-users to download over the air.

Gibbs said: "The IS team likes having one management tool for both iOS and BlackBerry devices that is largely automated, while the end-users appreciate the ability to have both their personal and professional information on one device."
