MobileIron provides the remedy for a mobile healthcare solution The initial pilot program with MobileIron was very successful, so Buurtzorg decided to move all of its now over 8,000 iPad devices to MobileIron Cloud. The company currently uses MobileIron Cloud to securely manage all of these devices and enforce security measures such as password policies and remote device wipe in case a device is ever lost or stolen. With MobileIron Cloud, the company can enforce security policies across the entire mobile fleet to ensure devices stay up-to-date with the most current privacy regulations. Device setup shrinks from hours to minutes with Apple DEP Buurtzorg also maintains a company app store through MobileIron Cloud. Each device runs several public healthcare apps, which have been fully vetted by the company's IT department. Out in the field, healthcare workers need access to information about pharmaceuticals, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and other issues related to healthcare. There are so many apps available in the public App Store, but not all of them provide the best information or user experience. "With MobileIron, we can administer a company app store so employees can access company-approved healthcare apps. Plus, MobileIron Cloud and DEP enable us to install all the apps immediately instead of one at a time, which saves us tremendous amounts of time," said Jeffrey Scholten, Buurtzorg's trusted adviser at Ecare Telecom & Cloud Services, which provides the company's core business apps and IT services.
