Securely Supporting BYOD
Merck aids worker productivity with mobile device enablement. The company’s bring your own device (BYOD) initiative uses VMware AirWatch to manage employee-owned devices while securing enterprise resources such as emails, applications, and content. In a heavily regulated industry like pharmaceutical products, data privacy, security, and legal and regulatory compliance are paramount.
Anytime, Anywhere Productivity
With 24/7/365 connectivity, Merck employees are sharing information and ideas more effectively than ever. Merck maintains more than 150 proprietary apps in its AirWatch Enterprise App Catalog and updates them easily with the AirWatch Mobile Access Gateway. The AirWatch Secure Content Locker enables anytime/anywhere access to content for greater productivity and collaboration.
What Merck has to say about us

And then, as we think to the future and the cloud with AWS, seeing two strategic partners for us come together and really allow us to bridge to the future is critically important for us.”
