ProMobi Technologies yesterday announced that Scalefusion - its Unified Endpoint Management solution —now supports shared company-owned Android devices. Extending user-authenticated enrollment on company-owned Android devices, this feature enables enterprises to enable device sharing between two or more employees.
Numerous organizations have embraced deploying shared devices among their employees to optimize infrastructure costs and streamline maintenance efforts while empowering their workforce with digital tools to enhance productivity. However, adopting device sharing presents a challenge for IT teams, as it restricts their ability to enforce employee-specific access control and usage policies on these devices.
Scalefusion's shared company-owned devices feature addresses this pain point by enabling IT teams to create user-specific policies and device profiles. These can be seamlessly applied to the devices through User Group Management and User Authenticated Enrollment.
Users can be imported via AD integration, such as Google Workplace or O365, and end-users can be grouped to enable device sharing. End-users can use a combination of their work email ID and OTP to sign in to the device, use the device within the predefined scope and log out, enabling another end-user to sign in without any IT intervention. This eliminates the need for mapping company-owned devices to individual employees.
In addition to facilitating user-authenticated enrollment, Scalefusion also empowers IT teams to generate and access comprehensive reports pertaining to sign-in and sign-out times and the total duration of each user's session on any shared device. This functionality equips organizations with valuable insights into device usage patterns, ensuring optimal resource allocation and efficient management.
