NAIROBI, KENYA: With the fundamental of operating system architectures shifts from computers to smartphones and tablets, Huawei Devices Kenya on Tuesday launched its flagship device, the Huawei Mate 8 that brings a significant change on how consumers manage their enterprise architectures.
This is a direct response to the technology shift where the personal computer economy continues to fade.
The Mate 8 will allow users to interact with the device’s security system, for instance wiping it clean in case of an information breech.
Dean Yu CEO, Huawei Technologies said in as much as devices are inherently difficult to secure, the Mate 8 access controls to enterprise resources are robust which is a lot more than just the user pass keys.
Since tomorrow’s employees will have much more access to information, digital enterprise revolves around making information mobile, the Mate 8 is therefore designed to help users connect not only to company data via the cloud but also to data from customers, suppliers and relevant outside sources including social media and internet connected sources.
The explosive growth in mobile computing is on enterprise radars everywhere as organisations position to take advantage of its power and flexibility. The workforce is communicating socially and collaborating professionally on mobile devices daily. Enterprise mobility is just beginning and fed by an increasingly BYOD-driven generation of workers,” said Harry Hare, Publisher and CEO, CIO East Africa.
“The good news for CIOs is that they will be able to make better decisions by accessing analytics from the device,” says Mark Hemaobin, Head of Devices, Huawei Kenya. Mobile computing has given people a sense of power; they have choices in what device to use, the applications to use and how to use them.
Despite the stiff competition from recent and new entrants in the Kenyan market, Muchwe believes that the market is still huge enough to offer quality products that meet customers’ needs at competitive prices.
