The winds of change are slowly and surely blowing through the corporate space as companies upgrading their systems are making choices on what mobile solutions to run. Ford has seemingly moved away from BlackBerry and has gone with Apple by deploying 9,300 iPhones for its employees for the next two years.
This is a huge commitment and a vote of confidence for iPhone following the announcement that Apple and IBM would be teaming up for an unprecedented mobile enterprise push.
Ford finds the iPhone secure and simple to use. "It meets the overall needs of the employees because it is able to serve both our business needs and a secure way and the needs we have in our personal lives with a single device," said Sara Tatchio, Ford's Manager for Integrated Global Communication. Enterprise is an area that BlackBerry owned but since its decline in popularity, Apple has become the logical choice for enterprise and corporations looking to provide acceptable and secure BYOD policies. 98% of the Fortune 500 are said to already be running on iOS and Apple expects to grow this even further.
