Enable local governments with secure and cost-effective remote working solutions
For local governments, mobile or remote work is becoming more and more important. However, many cities and municipalities are bound by strict security measures as well as dependencies on older or legacy software and infrastructure limits.
Challenges with remote working
Local governments often work with private citizen data and therefore need to comply with a multitude of privacy and security regulations.
However, because many of the specialized applications used by a municipal government still need to be installed on a device, employees are neglecting to follow those measures to be productive while on the go or working remotely. Furthermore, it can be cumbersome to monitor a network of remote locations or keep track of teams working in the field.
Use of legacy software
Many essential applications can only be accessed when they are installed on a managed device.
Board member mobility
Mayors and aldermen need to access sensitive data when they are working from home or at a remote location.
Data security and GDPR
Data management and accessibility has to be as secure as possible, preferably with auditing possibilities.
External contractors
Municipalities work with a large number of contractors, all of whom have their own specific IT needs.
Limited budget
IT workers in local governments have to spend their limited budget wisely and heavily prioritize.
