Case Study: GKN Group achieves streamlined, secure global enterprise mobility with VMware Workspace ONE

Gkn Takes Control Of Enterprise Mobility To Create A Dynamic Global Workforce

GKN Group is a global engineering leader serving the automotive and aerospace sectors, with more than 59,000 employees in over 30 countries and production in 160+ facilities. Facing fragmented mobile management across divisions, GKN needed to consolidate multiple MDM solutions, give employees fast, secure access to business‑critical apps on a wide mix of devices and operating systems, and prepare for a companywide move to Windows 10.

Working with VMware Professional Services, GKN implemented VMware Workspace ONE™ Powered by AirWatch® to create a single Enterprise Mobility Management platform. The rollout simplified management of diverse devices, sped access to applications (removing previous VPN and email delays), lowered cost and complexity, and positioned the business for a global Windows 10 upgrade while improving end‑user productivity and experience.
