Propalm implemented BYOD…..

The business environment today is very dynamic, and IT is expected to keep pace with the demands of customers and users. By looking at technology as the solution, and not a problem, CIOs can handle business demands in a way that creates a great user experience in a manageable, secure and cost-effective manner. CIOs must articulate the current business challenges; understand the company, its competition and the industry.

By bringing the element of innovation, CIOs, as technology leaders, can drive and understand what their peers in the C-Suite are aiming to achieve, and focus on an IT infrastructure that complements their vision.

Intending to gain more revenues and excel in performance, different CIOs and IT heads have implemented IT in their own ways. Propalm had implemented BYOD using their own products last year. Their employees can bring their own laptops and tablets to work and use the same to do their daily office work. They categorize users as per their access needs and implemented the appropriate VDI strategy.  Throwing more light on this, Vijender Yadav, Director and CTO at Propalms informed, “Based on each category of users, we implemented hypervisor based VDI as well as terminal services based VDI. We had to make sure the access to data and applications are available all the time, so OneGate acted as the remote access platform."

From the days when CIO had limited system storage and controlled information generation, to a time where all business processes are using some sort of Information System, the challenge has grown stronger. The reason being the increasing volume of information that is now being generated and processed within a company, and from external entities like suppliers, partners, customers, etc.

The good and bad thing about business dynamics is that it keeps evolving constantly. However, the internet and now the mobile revolution have made this evolution much faster than can be kept pace with using traditional approaches and tools.

With the emergence numerous innovative various devices, services and the ways of consumerization of IT, Data Security has become even more vital. Usage of portable devices including storage devices, thumb drives, tablets, smartphones and social media create lots of openings for information leaks. Database security requires multiple layers of defence that include a combination of preventive, detective, and administrative data security controls. So, proper modus operandi and algorithm for checking the information security are must.
