MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Global law firm Perkins Coie adopted cloud services such as
Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce to ensure attorneys could
quickly retrieve and update information on the go. The company's
previous mobile device management (MDM) solution could not secure
apps and cloud services, leaving attorneys without access to
critical information outside the office. To stay competitive,
Perkins Coie deployed MobileIron Access, a cloud security solution,
to secure the Salesforce1 mobile app and enable seamless access
with single sign-on (SSO).

"Our employees need to be able to use the same popular cloud
services that our clients use, such as G Suite and Microsoft Office
365. But it is critical that our data can't be accessed from
unmanaged devices," said Chelan
Simonds, Mobile Device Engineer at Perkins Coie. "We
maintain a 100 percent BYOD environment, so it is critical that we
provide a secure and consistent user experience on any device.
MobileIron has been a strategic partner in helping us meet all of
those requirements."
When time is money, secure mobile productivity is
critical
Perkins Coie initially chose the MobileIron enterprise mobility
management (EMM) platform to deliver secure email and applications.
When the company later started to support cloud services, they
needed to provide secure, simplified, multi-OS access from
personally owned devices. The company also wanted to prevent
employees from accessing corporate resources from unsecured mobile
devices and unmanaged apps, such as an unmanaged version of
Salesforce1 on a family iPad.
"MobileIron Access has been a game-changer for us. Single
sign-on makes it easy for employees to launch Salesforce1, without
having to enter their credentials every time. Employees have been
impressed with the simple experience and the security team has
peace of mind because we can ensure that only authorized devices,
apps, and users can access corporate cloud resources," said
Simonds.
MobileIron Access secures cloud-based apps by leveraging
MobileIron Tunnel, a multi-OS app VPN that provides seamless,
certificate-based authentication to any public, in-house, or cloud
application. Using a combination of MobileIron Tunnel and
AppConnect, a secure app container on the device, Perkins Coie was
also able to securely deploy Connections Mobile. This in-house
mobile app provides access to critical internal resources such as
the company directory, office information, and 24x7 assistance.
The future of mobile depends on innovation and
flexibility
Maintaining a relentless customer focus is a major priority for
Perkins Coie. For that reason, the company needs the flexibility to
meet rapidly changing customer and employee business requirements
today and down the road.
"We have to be able to support the platforms and technologies
our clients are using, not the other way around," said Simonds.
"MobileIron helps us stay competitive because they are always
coming out with new products, updates, and features, so we can be
sure we're offering the latest mobile and cloud capabilities to all
of our clients and end users."
