bigtincan announces support for Apple's iOS 6 and what it means for Enterprise Customers

BTCDashboard and iOS 6 - what does mean for Enterprise Customers

Apple’s new iOS 6 adds a number of exciting enterprise features that BTC has been working on adding into the BTCDashboard ecosystem since the release of the first iOS 6 beta in June 2012.

Base line features

iOS 6 includes a number of great features that, whilst they apply to all apps, add considerable value in BTCDashboard.  Siri in iOS6 lets you launch BTCDashboard using the standard Siri screens, iOS 6 maps are now able to be launched right from BTCDashboard stories, and Quicklinks, and Facetime over 3G lets an organization create simple picture based links to directly facetime another user. iOS 6‘s support for global HTTP proxies help in enabling a corporate user to set a proxy connection in an provisioning profile that then apply to all BTCDashboard communications - its a great way to connect BTCDashboard to a private/on premise server with very simple configuration settings.

Kiosk mode - and BTCDashboard

iOS 6’s Kiosk setting - under the Guided Access settings - lets a corporate user set BTCDashboard as the only app that can be used on an iOS device - ideal for an iPad set up as a display service or tool used for presenting fixed information to a mobile workforce.  To make life even easier for the corporate administrator, BTC is introducing our own Kiosk mode into the next version of BTCDashboard that now lets the admin remotely configure a BTC client as a ‘kiosk”. Setting a device in BTC Kiosk mode will result in the BTCDashboard app removing all options for the user to alter the system - for example removing the Settings button, stopping logout, altering channel orders or turning on advanced features like USB proxy.  iOS 6 plus BTCDashboard Kiosk mode enables corporate IT to deploy an iOS device as the ideal “self service” platform for corporate information.

General improvements

Whilst its hard to point to exactly all the small but important improvements in iOS 6, in our testing BTC has found that iOS 6 is simply more stable than all previous releases of IOS.  We find fewer crashes, and improved performance when using BTCDashboard.

Whats Next?

BTC has been working with iOS 6 now for months and cant wait to see our valued users getting a chance to use the platform.  We have verified that Dashboard v2.3.2 (the current AppStore Version release in early September 2012) works great with iOS6 and we are looking forward to hearing from you about how the improvements in iOS6 help your business.
