RKON Technologies Deploys Citrix® XenMobile at American Medical Association

CHICAGO, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RKON Technologies (RKON), a leading managed cloud solutions provider and Gold Citrix® solution advisor, announced today its successful deployment of Citrix XenMobile at American Medical Association (AMA). With deep expertise in emerging mobility management technology, RKON is the first IT consulting company in the U.S. capable of managing XenMobile to assist with rapid enterprise changes and address organizational mobility concerns.

 XenMobile delivers complete Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)—mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM) and enterprise-grade productivity apps—in one comprehensive solution, offering great potential for the future of mobility. The technology enhances the user experience on bring your own (BYO) or corporate devices without compromising security.

"Mobility management is a new area and it is complex," said Nathen Scully, director of data and system design at AMA. "With major changes in technology and work styles, we were in need of a robust management solution for controlling corporate applications and data on mobile devices, while allowing employees to keep personal information and apps separate and private. Additionally, we were seeking corporate mobile email and browser apps with a near-native look and feel, and an integrated tool for securely sharing files and data."

The AMA employs personnel around the country, providing resources and tools for thousands of physicians and hosting the nation's largest repository of primary source physician data. The organization partnered with Citrix and RKON to help address rapid changes in mobile technology to ensure continuous data integrity, security and HIPAA and PCI compliance, and support the email-centric environment, which heavily leverages network shares. An early adopter of Citrix XenMobile, RKON initiated deployment of the comprehensive mobility management solution, helping AMA enhance efficiency and collaboration for mobile employees with simple, secure access to email, Internet, files and targeted apps, as well as stronger data security and regulatory compliance.

"We chose RKON for its managed services expertise and ability to scale up our organization's IT environment to hundreds of users," said Scully. "The RKON team 'speaks' NetScaler, which is a critical component of the XenMobile environment, providing secure, remote access, high reliability and an optimized user experience."

"Our extensive systems integration and security services experience, coupled with deep knowledge of XenMobile and close relationships with Citrix, were instrumental in the success of this implementation," said Jeff Mullarkey, CEO of RKON. "We are thrilled AMA is already seeing notable efficiency and security benefits from using the mobility management solution and we look forward to continuously leveraging cutting-edge mobile technology for medium to large enterprises. Organizations that give employees secure access to internal resources on demand, while enabling BYOD are filling an important gap and solving an increasingly important issue."
