Case Study: Essilor International streamlines sales mobility with VMware AirWatch

Essilor Sees Increase in Employee Productivity with Tablets and Apps Managed by AirWatch

Essilor International, the world’s largest manufacturer of ophthalmic lenses, wanted to replace its laptop fleet with sleek tablets for its sales and medical representatives. Facing a tight deadline to deploy 100 iPads before a global trade show, Essilor France chose VMware AirWatch for enterprise mobility management to support a more efficient, mobile sales force with business-ready apps.

VMware AirWatch enabled Essilor to manage and secure corporate-owned devices, push role-based profiles, and distribute internal B2B and public apps through its custom app catalog, Essi Store. The solution helped Essilor roll out the iPads quickly and intuitively, giving employees secure access to email, documents, and CRM tools while speeding adoption of the new devices and supporting future expansion to other departments.
