Benefits for the Enterprise

license vs. an object purchased and tied to a User/device. Enterprise Single Sign On - Single sign on for Enterprise Apps

Auto Update - Important for security, user experience, App management

Data Security via Encryption - App data can be encrypted until the first time a user passcode is successfully entered after a device

reboot; Additionally, developers can have apps encrypt the data again when the phone locks.

E N T E R P R I S E

@itexico

Open-in Management - Allows IT to specify which Apps can open which file types Air Drop - Productivity

iBeacons - Low power enabled Bluetooth. Opens many Internet of things use cases.
