Graphite Software takes Secure Spaces into the cloud

Graphite Software has launched its Secure Spaces Cloud Management Service, enabling entirely new mobile business services and revenues for mobile device OEMs, operators and app companies by allowing users to download constellation of apps, content and a separate launcher into a Space on their device.

Downloadable Spaces enable a rich immersive experience around a app ecosystem or brand experience. Downloadable Spaces allow a consumer to opt-in to content and receive new apps on their mobile devices, while protecting their privacy and home screen configuration. One popular use is for a curated, branded, age-appropriate Kid’s Space, which also ensures the child cannot read personal messages, make phone calls or change the device settings. Downloadable Spaces are also ideal for securing company apps and data while maintaining the privacy of the employee, solving the user’s desire to carry only one device for both work and personal use.

Alec Main, CEO of Graphite Software commented: “Our Cloud Management Service extends the capabilities of Secure Spaces to enable downloaded Spaces for privacy, enterprise and convenience applications. Users can now “opt-in” to having Spaces that meet their specific needs or interests including Spaces for shopping, travel, events, banking, work and more. From a business perspective, enterprises can feel safe in the knowledge that all of their staff are equipped with the right applications and data leakage is prevented, while the employee can be confident that their privacy is maintained”

Third-party administrators can now configure and curate Spaces via the Secure Spaces Cloud Management Service, creating new opportunities to post-load apps and data onto devices for a more customized bloatware-free experience. Enterprise administrators can now push preconfigured work Spaces to employees via an emailed invitation. Marketers and brand managers can now offer consumers to load Spaces with focused, timely, curated content and their own branded launcher for a richer contextual user experience. Downloadable Spaces can be updated over time providing fresh apps and content when they are available.
