Yes we are using that here. We have 2700 users on it already and so far are very happy with it. We are using it for IOS devices only right now. They also have great training online in something called Mobile Iron University. I am in the process of learning it myself as it was deployed by other engineers in my group. Always been a BES gal but need to branch out :).

We are going to be signing up with them here within the next month. They have Weekly webinars on Wednesday - and their product looks amazing and well built.

Even most of their employees don't understand it. We have a hosted MDM solution now. I was intrigued by Mobile Fusion until I did the numbers. With Mobile Fusion, cost includes BES + CALs + Server associated costs, hardware, configuration and maintenance + Support contract which is priced somewhat on the number of devices being managed. Some of these costs are long term, like BES, one time, like CALs, and others continuing, like the support contract. With the hosted MDM, we pay per device. per month. No up front BES, no CALs, no server hardware, no maintenance, and support is included. Mobile Fusion may work for you, but when you factor in all of the costs, maybe not. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development [cid:4841505C-75CB-4B86-8ABF-73508942A32C] On 4/3/12 2:50 PM, "Jonathan Barker" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Confusing? Try licensing any Microsoft product at an enterprise level! In all seriousness, you're not being strong-armed into a Fusion CAL for BlackBerry OS 10 devices as they will support ActiveSync out of the box much like Playbook OS 2.0. Fusion will provide a better way of dealing with mobile devices than unregulated ActiveSync connections.
