DESCRIPTION
DaaS has been adopted by many companies that want to gain visibility into and control over the desktop environment, while making it much more cost-effective to manage. With BYOD on the rise, DaaS is even more compelling. RapidScale offers solutions that enable you to introduce BYOD efficiently and securely in your business. Our CloudDesktop and CloudOffice are perfect for companies that want to embrace this new way of working. CloudDesktop virtualizes the user’s desktop, allowing your employees to connect to a fully functioning and familiar environment from any location and device. You can remain focused on your core business while everyone is connected to a virtual workspace that allows for privacy, collaboration and scalability. CloudOffice is our secure all-in-one solution that combines our four core products and services, including CloudDesktop. This product replaces the physical IT infrastructure and moves everything into the cloud. The environment is controlled, monitored and backed up, and allows businesses to have remote workers that are equally as productive as those in the office. The product supports collaboration and mobile workforces, as well as BYOD. Though security is often first on the list of concerns when it comes to new technology, our secure solutions will ease your worries. Even with the use of personal devices, your company data resides in a secure data center where it remains safe even if something happens to employee devices. With our solutions, your users can be controlled in a simple admin panel that gives you the ability to secure and manage your users. If a device ends up in the wrong hands, you can wipe the information and maintain control of your data. We also offer government-grade encryption for your virtual desktop, keeping your confidential data safe behind protected walls. By 2017, half of employers will require employees to supply their own device for work, so why wait? Get on board now and begin to improve your business with BYOD.

BYOD …and how it’s changing the world
www.rapidscale.net
Increased productivity and innovation: Employees are more comfortable with a personal device and become expert using it — making them more productive. Personal devices tend to be more cutting-edge, so the enterprise benefits from the latest features. Also users upgrade to the latest hardware more frequently.
Employee satisfaction: Your people use the devices they have chosen and invested in — rather than what was selected by IT. 83% of users considered their mobile device more important than their morning cup of coffee. Allowing employees to use personal devices also helps them avoid carrying multiple devices.
Cost savings: BYOD programs sometimes save budget by shifting costs to the user, with employees paying for mobile devices and data services. However, this often results in little to no savings, so do not base your decision primarily on anticipated savings.

72% Of employers do not reimburse for BYOD practices
34% of CIOs think employees are accessing their network with personal devices and 69% of users confirm they are indeed accessing corporate network with personal devices
94% of users would be “very frustrated” if their company wiped their personal data off their mobile device
43% would be “very unwilling” to give up the use of data-intensive apps such as Pandora or Spotify on their personal device in exchange for access to corporate information
64% of users would be “very frustrated” to have to enter enterprise passwords every time they wanted to access their favorite apps, such as Facebook
RapidScale eliminates these concerns by introducing the most advanced virtual desktop that can be accessed through an individual app, eliminating the security issues of using a personal device, and giving a user freedom to choose any device they want.

Conduct a cost/benefit analysis while deciding how you will enable mobile and who will have access. Not determining a policy is risky: if you don't, BYOD will "just happen" without controls. RapidScale allows users to be controlled in a simple admin panel that gives an organization the ability to secure and manage its users.
71 percent of CEOs and IT managers say that security is their most significant mobile enterprise challenge. RapidScale has carefully chosen which technologies will be used to manage and secure mobile devices. A smartphone containing confidential data can be stolen or lost—putting sensitive information in the wrong hands. RapidScale gives you the ability to wipe a device that is in the wrong hands.
39 percent of organizations have already had a data breach due to an employee's or contractor's lost or stolen mobile device. Do your people understand the risks? RapidScale makes it easy to manage and control devices that fall into the wrong hands. Plus, RapidScale offers government grade encryption into our virtual desktop, keeping all your data safe behind protected walls.
RapidScale makes sure that we have someone available at all times in the event you need some help. We offer 24x7x365 support, so no matter what time or what day it is, there is always someone available to talk to.
