Chevin Fleet Solutions supports personal devices

Chevin Fleet Solutions software fully supports personal devices

Chevin Fleet Solutions reports that due to the rise of individuals using their own personal devices to access its software, the company has invested in ways to meet the needs of those devices.

“In the corporate world, many of our client’s user are accessing the company’s software on Windows XP desktops that date back more than a decade,” said Ron Katz, senior vice president of North American sales at Chevin. “Contrast this with the cutting edge personal devices that many employees use at work as part of their day-to-day lives and you can see the contrast.”

According to Chevin’s data, employee’s own devices were widely used to access the company’s software from remote locations.

“To meet this need, we developed our software to fully support all of the capabilities that are built into the devices employees use today that are often not found in a corporate laptop, one example being the camera,” said Katz.

Katz notes that there are important discussions and policy reviews underway to establish directives regarding personal devices, especially from a security point of view.

“The potential issues include firstly, if employees are using personal smartphones or tablets to access fleet software, organizations have diminished control should the employee’s device become stolen or lost. Secondly, opening corporate IT infrastructure up to potential unauthorized access or viruses is a risk, though one that can often be mitigated by most corporate security controls and systems,” said Katz.
