INTERFACE: Embracing Enterprise Mobility

By

Interface Infosoft Solutions Pvt Ltd, or simply INTERFACE, is an expert in the field of Enterprise Mobility. This Pune based company has been devising Enterprise Mobility Solutions for companies in Healthcare, IT and Software industries. “Enterprise Mobility market is changing, wherein one fixed solution cannot handle all aspects Enterprise Mobility. Comprehensive mobile strategy has to be developed based on the requirements of each client and a solution can be designed using a combination of off-the-shelf products and custom solutions,” notes Narendra Nandekar, CEO of INTERFACE.
Mr. Nandekar observes that typically initial implementations of Enterprise Mobility tend to be reactive instead of proactive. They are developed as a response to employee or customer demand or to competitors' moves and are undertaken without a comprehensive mobility strategy or security risks. Ultimately such solutions fail to satisfy users on many levels. Companies without a comprehensive strategy run the risk of investing in solutions that may not address their growing mobility needs.
INTERFACE develops a comprehensive Enterprise Mobility strategy for its clients by considering three dimensions: Enterprise Mobility Ecosystem, Mobile Security and Enterprise Mobility Maturity.

Enterprise Mobility Ecosystem
Enterprise Mobility Ecosystem consists of End Users, Applications, Devices, Connectivity, Security, Middleware and Infrastructure. This is a complex environment with thousands of mobile products and services. Traditional mobility solutions, deployed by companies to manage BYOD policy (Bring Your Own Device), are devised using MDM/MAM (Mobile Device Management/Mobile Access Management) and security solutions. MDM/MAM solutions can only address limited section of the Enterprise Mobility ecosystem. Companies need to use solutions from multiple vendors to develop a complete enterprise mobility ecosystem which involves tremendous effort on systems integration.
Mobile Security
Mobile security does not mean just secure mobile devices. The Enterprise Mobility Ecosystem has to be evaluated completely to design a holistic security solution. Multiple factors such as devices, applications, services, network, infrastructure and users have to be considered to design a long term Enterprise Mobility Security solution.

Enterprise Mobility Maturity
As mobility is becoming an integral part of IT and business strategy, it is important to know which stage of the mobile evolution an organization is currently in. Trying to assess the maturity level is further complicated by the different demographics and levels of IT capabilities of the organization.
INTERFACE has designed Enterprise Mobility solutions covering these three dimensions for companies with different maturity levels of Enterprise Mobility adoption. It has also developed flagship mobile products for clients in the healthcare industry to view clinical data and images on Android and iOS devices for nurses and physicians. INTERFACE has expertise in integration with medical devices to extract clinical data, integration with existing healthcare systems to access patient data, developing tools to optimise Wi-Fi access, analysing network infrastructure and Wi-Fi coverage across the hospital floors, compliance with healthcare standards like HIPPA and HL7, and security coverage across all components covered.
