Does the police officer on the beat have a smaller more portable version? Being able to send reports directly to base from the job would save man hours. Communication for police has improved since the old days when to contact base they had use a landline or the police whistle to alert other officers in the area that they needed help. |

I don't have enough experience with WP to judge if it's similar to the iPhone re customisation to suit their needs. So really android based would be cheaper, more customisable to the job I reckon HP Elitebookm, fair enough... iPad? What's that for? |

| 1287889 | 2012-07-15 23:33:00 | I have been involved in discussions about which smart phone solution to use in a large company. the company has about %60 of managers on blackberry (selected about 4 year ago). they have a BES server, and like the MDM (mobile device management) that comes with blackberry. now they are looking at what to get to refresh the older blackberry's with. blackberry is a dead company, but they have the BES server (MDM). iphone has a good MDM solution, but will mean investing in a second MDM. android is best by the users, but has very little MDM support. from a security stand point, we want to setup the MDM to require the latest OS version. that's quite hard with android, as it is different on each brand/model often management of the device, remote wipe, encrypted file system and such are more important than what is seen as hip and cool. iphone hits all the security and MDM points. it looks like they will have a mix of iphone and blackberry as they phase out the old and bring in the new. android wont get a look in until they have better enterprise functions. |
