BlackBerry monitoring- and management-software-maker BoxTone is expanding its boundaries today with the announcement of BoxTone v5.0, which not only brings new BlackBerry-related enterprise support options, the product now manages, monitors and tracks non-Research In Motion (RIM) devices, including Apple iPhones, "Windows phones"--handsets running Windows Mobile--Palm webOS smartphones and other gadgets that employ Microsoft's ActiveSync technology.
Additional enhancements found in the BoxTone v5.0 release include the ability to identify and quantify staffers' BlackBerry-related productivity during non-working hours--what BoxTone CMO Brian C. Reed dubs the "Defend the Mobile Spend" feature. BoxTone v5.0 lets smartphone administrators track each mobile user's off-hours BlackBerry-usage-habits in real-time to identify specific productivity gains.
BoxTone v5.0 is also heavily focused on helping organizations control the influx of employee-owned devices in the enterprise, Reed says. The product's new device ownership features help organizations determine which specific devices are employee-owned vs. corporate-owned, as well as track and ensure IT-policy-compliance on those handhelds while protecting infrastructure from "rogue" devices and/or bad applications.
