Microsoft EMS

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done As a Microsoft House EEAST has made a significant investment into the use of “smart devices” to aid the efficiency of its staff and to enable the ability to work on equipment in the digital age. This work is to purchase Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite mobile device management application in order for EEAST to control and manage these devices in order to protect both the Trust and the end user. It will also aid the end user with the necessary tools to improve and aid efficiency and productivity. Currently EEAST is unable to effectively control and secure mobile devices. Problem to Be Solved Provide Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite solution in order that the smart devices can be managed and controlled in line with the Trust IM&T strategy. Currently this is only done via the Trust Webmail solution which gives very limited control and limits the end user experience in using the Trust systems and resources. For Governance purposes, the solution will be rolled out to a select number of users, prior to the full rollout. The initial purchase would consist of 1000 users, with initial rollout of 100. It is estimated within 12 to 24 months this could rise to 4500. Who Are the Users All Trust users will be applicable to use this platform. Trusts users will be able to access Trust’s systems and data in a controlled and managed environment irrespective of their location and using a device which is effective and beneficial to their requirements. An example would be to enable Front Line staff to access the Trust network and systems via a smart device whilst not on base. This could enable email, bulletins and/or training material. Training has a store of iPads which, due to security reasons mentioned, are currently unable to use these until a suitable solution is successfully implemented.
