Secure Texting

Employees are used to picking up their personal smartphones and texting, and often prefer to communicate in the same style with a purpose-built device from their employer. Texting is a viable communication option in many industries, namely those with highly mobile workers such as retail, healthcare and manufacturing. IT solution providers can help reduce risk by offering options for secure texting that ensure nothing is saved on the device itself, but on secure servers, giving IT greater control over corporate information and reducing risks associated with privacy or data exposure. Many secure texting applications also permit the ability to send texts to individuals and groups from desktop PCs, enhancing the reach of text beyond one-to-one conversations.
