Case Study: S&P 500 Beverage Manufacturing Company achieves rapid, privacy-preserving BYOD adoption with Bitglass

S&P 500 Beverage Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

S&P 500 Beverage Manufacturing Company struggled to secure a globally distributed BYOD workforce: prior MDM attempts with MobileIron and SAP Afaria saw adoption of fewer than ten users, employees feared privacy intrusions from installed agents, and IT could not manage the many device/OS variations or reliably remove corporate data from deprovisioned devices. The company turned to Bitglass and its agentless BYOD security solution, choosing an approach that avoided installing software on personal devices.

Bitglass deployed an agentless Omni ActiveSync proxy that required no device agents or certificates, automatically synced with the firm’s Active Directory, and wiped only corporate data when users were removed from AD while preserving personal data. The Bitglass solution reduced helpdesk effort, resolved privacy concerns to drive workforce buy‑in, and achieved full deployment goals within three weeks of contract signing, replacing the firm’s manual deprovisioning process.
