AirWatch Connect 2013: AirWatch General Session Day One

We have more than 8,000 customers, 250 partners globally, serving more than 150 countries.

AirWatch has moved into vertical markets, including retail, healthcare, aviation, finance and education. Each industry has its own unique traits.

We have reached more than 1,500 employees in 9 global offices. Our platform is supported in 16 different languages.

“This space is moving too quickly to not be mobile.”

We have more than 50 translators in North America, working hard every day to ensure that when a release comes out, it comes out in 16 different languages.

Our teams all over the world collaborate on our solutions; they don’t work on different projects. When we go to sleep in Georgia, another team picks up across the globe.

We knew from day one that MDM was going to to explode. We want to simplify enterprise mobility, but to build that simplicity, you have to build an integrated platform.

We build apps on reputation scanning, development workflow, SDK/app wrapping, single sign-on (SSO), APIs and social.

The challenge most people have with content is that traditional companies want them to move your information to the company’s cloud. That doesn’t make sense to me.

We don’t care where enterprise content comes from. It’s your content, not ours.

Browsing should include cross-platform, app tunneling, kiosk/restricted mode, BYOD and data loss prevention (DLP).

We are proud to announce AirWatch Container for both iOS and Android operating systems, available in late October 2013. 

We’ve added the concept of multi-user. Take a device, check it out to an individual, and it they will receive all the contacts, emails, etc. We’ve provided a platform with choice.

Our customers want one platform to manage all of these devices on. We believe laptops must be be managed in this new scenario — and in the years to come. It will start, and it’s already starting today.

We built a telecom app that can track and monitor data usage on devices, which will evolve over the next six months.

BYOD needs device choice, enrollment flexibility, governance, compliance, terms of use, self-service, prvacy policies, enterprise enablement, particurlarly enablement. Security is a critical piece, but it is about enablement.

We’ve taken all these components of our solutions and tied them together into one workspace, AirWatch Workspace, and it’s the only solution in the world to built from the ground up. Within your organization you have choice with how you manage your business.

We’re building an ecosystem with same day same support. We’re there across platforms. We don’t need a press release announcing that we’re there because we’re already there when an update comes out.

We’re launching today the AirWatch Marketplace. You can look at new partners, updated APIs. You can go through enterprise apps, network information. You can actually go down to details to find out what we’re doing with our partners, AirWatch Marketplace is not just a list of logos. As our marketplace grows, we will put up real integration to help you integration.

Today we’re announcing AirWatch 7, simplifying navigation, controls, dashboard, views, and actions. It will be coming out later in October. We want feedback and want to know what makes the product work or not work with you. The challenge is that we have to work with customers with more than hundreds of thousands devices.

We’re also announcing AirWatch BIGdata, providing information at the company level about your devices, allowing you to know what’s going on, specifically. You can cut and slice the data in various ways. You can look at the information from an adoption of levels. All your data is secured, but we’re going to show how other companies in other industries are doing.

AirWatch will continue to invest in toward R&D, intellectual property, professional services, cloud, sales and marketing.

We visited over 100 cities in the world to bring AirWatch to customers. We will probably double or triple this about for next year.
