CommunityOne Bank Mobilizes Workforce with Good Technology

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CommunityOne Bank, N.A., a mid-size community bank headquartered in North Carolina, is using the Good Collaboration Suite™ to easily and securely mobilize apps and content for its employees. By using the Good Collaboration Suite, CommunityOne has created a secure mobile environment critical to protecting the financial and personal information of its clients while saving almost $150,000 in mobility costs related to hardware, service contracts and support.

Like many other business professionals, CommunityOne employees were using personal and company-issued mobile devices on different platforms, such as iOS, BlackBerry and Android. As a result, managing, controlling and securing a complex mobility environment proved to be more difficult than necessary. CommunityOne needed a reliable cross-platform mobile solution that enabled the company to roll out a formal BYOD program with the highest levels of security.

"As a financial services company, we must adhere to stringent security and regulatory requirements which require a mobile solution that provides end-to-end security in a cost-effective way," said Duke Prestridge, executive vice president and CIO for CommunityOne. "We selected the Good Collaboration Suite because of Good Technology's secure container architecture, which allows us to keep bank and customer information controlled and containerized even as it is exchanged between Good-secured apps. We were able to quickly put in place a BYOD program for employees using a single personal device for all secure mobility needs."

CommunityOne's 535 employees use the secure Good Collaboration Suite, enabling them to work more effectively whether at the office, traveling or meeting with customers. The solution allows teams to instantly access and review documents, presentations and brochures on the spot without worrying that external parties will gain access to confidential or proprietary information. CommunityOne also uses Good-secured ISV apps, such as iAnnotate for Good and ShareFile QuickEdit for Good, for working on PDF and Microsoft Office documents so employees can manage their emails and access documents when meeting with customers to provide them with real-time information, saving valuable time in trips to the office and multiple meetings with customers.

"The banking industry holds a high standard for security, and enterprises must ensure corporate data is safe at all times," said Andy Jacques, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Good Technology. "CommunityOne recognizes the benefit of a secure mobile environment to ensure greater end-to-end security over corporate data, while simultaneously increasing employee productivity and decreasing overall IT costs. With Good Technology, CommunityOne is enabled to keep its mobile data secure anytime, anyplace and on any device."

The Good Collaboration Suite, which includes Good for Enterprise®, Good Share™, Good Connect™ and Good Access™, is a suite of mobile solutions that simplify access to email, calendar, contacts, tasks, instant messaging, browsing and document sharing. These apps are built using Good's next-generation containerization that includes secure data sharing between any Good secured app, as well as app-level encryption independent of the device used.
