bigtincan announces support for Apple's iOS 6 and what it means for Enterprise Customers
BTCDashboard and iOS 6 - what does mean for Enterprise Customers
Apple’s
new iOS 6 adds a number of exciting enterprise features
that BTC has been working on adding into the BTCDashboard ecosystem since the
release of the first iOS 6 beta in June 2012.
Base line features
iOS 6
includes a number of great features that, whilst they apply to all apps, add
considerable value in BTCDashboard. Siri
in iOS6 lets you launch BTCDashboard using the standard Siri screens, iOS 6 maps
are now able to be launched right from BTCDashboard stories, and Quicklinks,
and Facetime over 3G lets an organization create simple picture based links to
directly facetime another user. iOS 6‘s support for global HTTP proxies help in
enabling a corporate user to set a proxy connection in an provisioning profile
that then apply to all BTCDashboard communications - its a great way to connect
BTCDashboard to a private/on premise server with very simple configuration
settings.
Kiosk mode - and BTCDashboard
iOS 6’s
Kiosk setting - under the Guided Access settings - lets a corporate user set
BTCDashboard as the only app that can be used on an iOS device - ideal for an
iPad set up as a display service or tool used for presenting fixed information
to a mobile workforce. To make life even
easier for the corporate administrator, BTC is introducing our own Kiosk mode
into the next version of BTCDashboard that now lets the admin remotely
configure a BTC client as a ‘kiosk”. Setting a device in BTC Kiosk mode will
result in the BTCDashboard app removing all options for the user to alter the
system - for example removing the Settings button, stopping logout, altering
channel orders or turning on advanced features like USB proxy. iOS 6 plus BTCDashboard Kiosk mode enables
corporate IT to deploy an iOS device as the ideal “self service” platform for
corporate information.
General improvements
Whilst
its hard to point to exactly all the small but important improvements in iOS 6,
in our testing BTC has found that iOS 6 is simply more stable than all previous
releases of IOS. We find fewer crashes,
and improved performance when using BTCDashboard.
Whats Next?
BTC
has been working with iOS 6 now for months and cant wait to see our valued users
getting a chance to use the platform. We
have verified that Dashboard v2.3.2 (the current AppStore Version release in
early September 2012) works great with iOS6 and we are looking forward to
hearing from you about how the improvements in iOS6 help your business.

BTCDashboard v2.3 Released
BTCDashboard v2.3 is an important step in what we at BTC see as the future of truly productive enterprise mobility solutions. After having been in the business now for more than 4 years everybody we talk to has been through the process of deploying MDM tools or their like, and they are now looking for tools that will drive increased productivity and dare we say increased sales in the increasingly mobile enterprise workforce.
BTCDashboard v2.3 does more than just provide a platform for delivering secure rich media content to a mobile workforce - Dashboard lets mobile users take advantage of "organisational intelligence". This level of content awareness and intelligence comes from the ability to allow users to control not just how they view content but to see instantly all the content that has been published, who is using what and how often - and to use that information to affect how they order or structure their view of their content on their own mobile device.
Whats more for corporate users looking to achieve total control over the way their users use content, V2.3 provides the ability to lock content - not just inside the Dashboard secure container, but in the graphical UI - want to have every piece of content exactly in its place? Dashboard 2.3 is right for you. Using the Allow Customisation setting Admins can restrict their users from changing the order of any piece of content - including stopping them from hiding stories.
Dashboard v2.3 also includes a number of amazing new Enterprise level features, like full remote users control (enable, disable, wipe content content container and more), personalisation (dynamically add or change your organisational logo within the BTCDashboard container), enhanced reporting (see who shared what content with who and when it was used) and lots more.
But perhaps one of the most interesting features in Dashboard v2.3 is the ability to deliver and run full animated, multimedia Powerpoint files. Check out the video here - corporate users who have been working with animated PPT files for years, now have the power to view fully animated PPT presentations that include embedded video, audio and more. To show you the power of this , we have added a sample animated PPT (thanks to our friends at Microsoft) - just download BTCDashboard from the Apple AppStore, and click on the Animated PPT Story then view the attachment - its powerful stuff!
We are always looking to learn more from you about where you see the future of Enterprise Mobility - so please feel free to contact us anytime to share your ideas.
We hope you enjoy BTCDashboard v2.3.
