Introducing Good For Enterprise
Good for Enterprise™ provides the necessary benefits for businesses to meet the challenges of planning and executing an enterprise mobility strategy.
Enabling information access to core data in an enterprise is no easy chore. IT must be able to converge diverse systems, deliver access to structured and unstructured data, and mobilize pre-packaged and custom applications. The complexity of mobile access adds the challenges of multiple target device platforms communicating over various wireless networks with their own inherent coverage and connectivity issues. On top of all that IT must be able to secure and manage the entire operation, end-to-end.
With a simple architecture and a rational cost of ownership Good for Enterprise meets the needs of the enterprise and, at the same time, reduces the complexity of delivering on the promises of mobility. Good for Enterprise is comprised of the award winning Good Mobile Messaging™, Good Mobile Access™, and Good Mobile Control™.
Good Mobile Messaging provides enterprise class email and personal information management capabilities with an unparalleled user experience. Tasks such as composing email, viewing rich attachments or scheduling meetings are just clicks away. Users can personalize the way they view, prioritise and find information. Integrated RSS news feeds allow users to stay up-to-date on the latest headlines*
Good Mobile Messaging is optimized for use on a broad range of mobile platforms including iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm.
Good Mobile Access** enables secure access to applications, resources, and data behind the corporate firewall utilising Good’s proven secure transport with 192 bit AES encryption and FIPS certification. Designed to simplify mobilising applications, Good Mobile Access supports applications that use standard TCP-based application layer protocol. There is no need for code modification or customization, there is no proprietary SDK required to develop and deploy mobile applications.
Good Mobile Control supports the entire operation with comprehensive over-the-air (OTA) management capabilities, granular security enforcement, and end-to-end visibility for trouble shooting and support. Good Mobile Control’s enterprise-class standard for device management and security is accessed through a single, web-based console providing IT access to system functionality from virtually anywhere.

BENEFITS
A SIMPLE ARCHITECTURE THAT MINIMISES HASSLES AND COST
Moving from “testing the waters” to executing a complete mobility initiative should not cost your organisation time and money. It should instead open possibilities for expansion based on what you learn as you grow your mobile fleet. Most forms begin tactically with wireless email and personal information management, Good for Enterprise allows you to start out just this way. Good Mobile Messaging and the Good Mobile Control server can be installed in the morning and you’ll be provisioning your first set of users by lunch. Then prepare yourself for the viral effects of enterprise mobility. Your users will immediately see the benefits, and IT will quickly appreciate the scalability of the Good platform.
ONE CENTRAL PLACE TO MANAGE AND SECURE IT ALL
As the fleet of mobile devices and users expands, the benefits of performing all the necessary management and security tasks from a single, web based portal with over-the-air (OTA) management becomes clear. Complete policy management for devices, applications, and user groups is at your fingertips, without ever having to touch a handheld device. Lock down device components like the camera, infrared port, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth features. Control which applications are allowed. Dictate which must be running before allowing a secure connection and even remotely wipe a lost or stolen unit.
Good Mobile Control allows IT to determine the level of granularity of its security policy. In today’s mobile environment it is a delicate balance between security and the user experience. Good helps you strike the right balance without sacrificing either.
ACCESS CORPORATE DATA BEYOND E-MAIL
Complete the picture of enterprise mobility by deploying Good Mobile Access and enable secure, reliable access to applications, and data behind the corporate firewall. Strategically supporting Line of Business (LOB) managers, IT can now begin to deliver the kind of anytime, anywhere access a company needs to be competitive. Good Mobile Access is a standards-based, secure transport that allows you to mobilise applications that use standard TCP-based application layer protocol. That means there’s no code modification, customization, or proprietary SDK to develop and deploy mobile applications. Users can access even your own standards based custom applications.
Now your employees are doing more than just email. They are fully equipped to communicate with partners, suppliers, and customers regardless of location, while having complete information about assets and systems.
Good Mobile Control provides complete visibility into your entire mobile device deployment, from detailed information about a single device to a snapshot of users by device operating system or by applied security policies. Management and security are made simple through a single web-based portal. Provisioning, securing, and managing is a snap with over-the-air administration. IT never has to touch the end user’s device.
