Ready to work with just your phone?
Lots of you now envision themself commuting with just their Samsung smartphone to work.
But there is a catch: In many IT environments this mobile vision might not be supported. IT and Security teams work hard to enforce policies which are not natively supported on Android Enterprise. This means that although your hardware is ready, your corporate apps and data might not be. Forcing users to stick to traditional PCs.
Authentication
Proper Authentication is critical when working with sensitive data. But users have to authenticate every time they need access to work related native apps or internal websites which can be frustrating.
PW Management
Whenever there is a problem with AD passwords (expired passwords or password reset requests) mobile employees need to contact support or find a Windows desktop computer to fix it.
Limited UX
Accessing and editing On-Premise data on your Mobile Device is limiting. Many solutions force non standardized editors which are not optimized for your devices.
Prepare yourself for a mobile only strategy
We at Hypergate want to free every employee from these hurdles and complications.Therefore we developed two solutions which take care of that, so you have a seamless user experience:
Hypergate Authentication
Utilizes the same IT infrastructure used on your PCs and makes them accessible on your mobile device. Closing the Kerberos Gap, Hypergate Authenticator will handle Self Service Password reset and SSO with no change to your current infrastructure. A simple plug and play solution.
Hypergate Files
Grants access to SMB Files shares the same way you would access them on your PC and with the same SSO. You can reinforce security with biometrics or even block content when employees are not in your 4 walls.
These two lightweight solutions enable you to securely edit your work on your device. And with a Samsung Dex device you can even leave your laptop at home and get things done. We prepared a short video which illustrates exactly what is possible.
Enhance the Future of Work with Hypergate
Samsung Dex might be the most unknown and probably the greatest feature on your Samsung device. Together with Hypergate a mobile only strategy for enterprises is not only in reach – it is already here.
