Case Study: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania strengthens mobile data security with Good Technology from Software Merchant Inc

Implementation of Good Technology at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which manages 48 state departments and was expanding its use of iPad and iPhone devices, needed a secure way to protect sensitive government data during its shift from BlackBerry to iOS and Android. The main challenge was ensuring strong mobile security, consistent user access across platforms, and support for a BYOD environment. Software Merchant Inc helped address this need with Good Technology, a mobile security and device management platform.

Software Merchant Inc implemented Good Technology on more than 4,000 mobile devices, using a container-based approach and Mobile Device Management (MDM) to keep official data secure without affecting personal data on employee devices. The solution enabled remote wiping of only corporate information in the event of loss or resignation, improved migration from BlackBerry to iPhone and Android, and delivered FIPS-certified security suited to government requirements.
