Businesses are increasingly keen to turn to mobile solutions, but this often presents problems in terms of integrating functions and keeping corporate data secure.
Launched at this week's Mobile World Congress, MobilityLab's WorksPad combines enterprise file sync and sharing, a fully-featured office package (Polaris Office Enterprise core) and a corporate email client in one app.
All of these capabilities are integrated into a single secure environment which allows control via centralized application level policies. The embedded office package allows document editing and users can attach documents to emails, save attachments on corporate resources, and manage file structures on iPad, iPhone and Android devices.
"Apple's and Google's mail, calendar, and contacts are good for consumers, but they are about a one function, per app approach. Acompli's 'Triaged Email' rebranded to Microsoft Outlook is about integration of mail, calendar and contacts in one app. But it has the same consumer user experience of working with one item at a time without ability to open multiple items to switch across them. This is the key mobility issue when supporting multitasking scenarios," says CEO of MobilityLab Sergey Orlik. "From another perspective, how do we work with business documents? Enterprise file sync and sharing solutions are about accessing file resources, viewing documents, and editing. However, these three key information worker tools -- file management, office and email client -- have traditionally been disconnected. WorksPad solves this entire problem in a secure and centralized way".
WorksPad's multiscreen user interface allows the opening of multiple documents, email messages and appointments on separate swipeable screens, with ribbons to keep track of all of the opened items. It also has a presentation mode on iPad, Android and Windows PCs that provides business users with cross-device screen sharing.
WorksPad is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store or you can find out more and sign up for a free trial on the company's website.
