DaaS has been adopted by many companies that want to gain visibility into and control over the desktop environment, while making it much more cost-effective to manage. With BYOD on the rise, DaaS is even more compelling. RapidScale offers solutions that enable you to introduce BYOD efficiently and securely in your business. Our CloudDesktop and CloudOffice are perfect for companies that want to embrace this new way of working. CloudDesktop virtualizes the user’s desktop, allowing your employees to connect to a fully functioning and familiar environment from any location and device. You can remain focused on your core business while everyone is connected to a virtual workspace that allows for privacy, collaboration and scalability. CloudOffice is our secure all-in-one solution that combines our four core products and services, including CloudDesktop. This product replaces the physical IT infrastructure and moves everything into the cloud. The environment is controlled, monitored and backed up, and allows businesses to have remote workers that are equally as productive as those in the office. The product supports collaboration and mobile workforces, as well as BYOD. Though security is often first on the list of concerns when it comes to new technology, our secure solutions will ease your worries. Even with the use of personal devices, your company data resides in a secure data center where it remains safe even if something happens to employee devices. With our solutions, your users can be controlled in a simple admin panel that gives you the ability to secure and manage your users. If a device ends up in the wrong hands, you can wipe the information and maintain control of your data. We also offer government-grade encryption for your virtual desktop, keeping your confidential data safe behind protected walls. By 2017, half of employers will require employees to supply their own device for work, so why wait? Get on board now and begin to improve your business with BYOD.

1. BYOD …and how it’s
changing the world
www.rapidscale.net

2. Increased productivity and
innovation: Employees are
more comfortable with a
personal device and become
expert using it — making them
more productive. Personal
devices tend to be more
cutting-edge, so the enterprise
benefits from the latest
features. Also users upgrade to
the latest hardware more
frequently.
Employee satisfaction:
Your people use the devices
they have chosen and invested
in — rather than what was
selected by IT. 83% of users
considered their mobile device
more important than their
morning cup of coffee.
Allowing employees to use
personal devices also helps
them avoid carrying multiple
devices.
Cost savings: BYOD
programs sometimes
save budget by shifting
costs to the user, with
employees paying for
mobile devices and data
services. However, this
often results in little to no
savings, so do not base
your decision primarily on
anticipated savings.

6. 34% of CIOs think employees are accessing their network with personal devices and 69%
of users confirm they are indeed accessing corporate network with personal devices
94% of users would be “very frustrated” if their
company wiped their personal data off their mobile
device
43% would be “very unwilling” to give up the use of data-
intensive apps such as Pandora or Spotify on their personal
device in exchange for access to corporate information
64% of users would be “very frustrated” to have to enter
enterprise passwords every time they wanted to access
their favorite apps, such as Facebook
RapidScale eliminates these concerns by introducing the most advanced virtual desktop
that can be accessed through an individual app, eliminating the security issues of using
a personal device, and giving a user freedom to choose any device they want.

7. Conduct a cost/benefit analysis while deciding how you
will enable mobile and who will have access. Not
determining a policy is risky: if you don't, BYOD will "just
happen" without controls. RapidScale allows users to be
controlled in a simple admin panel that gives an
organization the ability to secure and manage its users.
71 percent of CEOs and IT managers say that security is
their most significant mobile enterprise challenge.
RapidScale has carefully chosen which technologies will
be used to manage and secure mobile devices. A
smartphone containing confidential data can be stolen
or lost—putting sensitive information in the wrong
hands. RapidScale gives you the ability to wipe a device
that is in the wrong hands.
39 percent of organizations have already had a data
breach due to an employee's or contractor's lost or
stolen mobile device. Do your people understand the
risks? RapidScale makes it easy to manage and control
devices that fall into the wrong hands. Plus, RapidScale
offers government grade encryption into our virtual
desktop, keeping all your data safe behind protected
walls.
RapidScale makes sure that we have someone
available at all times in the event you need
some help. We offer 24x7x365 support, so no
matter what time or what day it is, there is
always someone available to talk to.

9. "Bring your own device"
(BYOD) drives innovation
for CIOs and the business
by increasing the number
of mobile application
users in the workforce.
BYOD improves
employee satisfaction,
resulting in a favorable
perception of CIOs and
their organizations.
CIOs can use BYOD as a
cost reduction and
avoidance mechanism.
BYOD increases risks
and changes

10. DaaS has been adopted by many companies that want to gain
visibility into and control over the desktop environment, while
making it much more cost-effective to manage. With BYOD on the
rise, DaaS is even more compelling.
RapidScale offers solutions that will enable your customers to
“BYOD”. RapidScale offers two different environments for BYOD
environments.

user accounts with custom needs. RapidScale can virtualize all their
applications and users can leverage Citrix to log into their virtual
desktop on any device.
• Multi-Tenant “Cloud Office” Environment: This is designed for SMB
customers with basic application needs. This package includes all of
the most common SMB requirements and allows users to log in via
Citrix.

11. Quick on-boarding of new employees
With a few mouse clicks, IT can provision new users to
a corporate desktop and get them working right away.
Enhance Security and make it easy to enforce
Support the corporate desktop, not the device
Company data resides in your business’ data center and not on
their personal device. The corporate desktop is insulated from
any viruses that attack the personal device or applications.
Boost workforce productivity
IT can easily support the corporate desktop from a central location and
require that employees maintain support of the BYOD and any personal
applications.
Business applications can be accessed from anywhere, on any
device.
Ensure positive user experience
DaaS is ideal from companies that have a distributed workforce and want
to adopt BYOD.
