Singapore Airlines has partnered with US-based enterprise software provider VMware to create a seamless, mobile-friendly environment for its increasingly mobile-first workforce.
SIA will use VMware’s Workspace ONE solution to streamline the delivery of mobile applications across more than 14,000 employee-owned devices, as well as more than 6,000 company-issued devices.
The VMware Workspace ONE platform facilitates seamless access to SaaS productivity applications as well as SIA’s mobile and intranet web applications on BYOD mobile devices anytime, anywhere. The delivery of enterprise-level security for corporate data, coupled with consumer-focused ease of access and usability has driven higher employee engagement across the organisation, it said.
To date, SIA has successfully deployed 35 mobile applications developed by its in-house technology development and innovation team, delivering them more securely to company-issued and BYOD devices using Workspace ONE’s App Catalog.
The VMware’s Workspace ONE compliance engine enables all applications to meet compliance and compatibility requirements. The engine also allows applications to be fully functional and updated with the latest security patches across every device.
“Digital workspace solutions are recognised for their ability to offer a seamless, collaborative workplace experience and VMware is committed to supporting the carrier on its mission of enabling greater enterprise mobility while improving operational efficiency and embracing data security,” said Sanjay K. Deshmukh, vice president and managing director, South East Asia and Korea.
