To facilitate interventions, SDIS 81 has acquired an annoyance of Android 11 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro tablets with integrated native KNOX security and Android Enterprise compatibility. In this context, SDIS 81 chose Telelogos’ MDM Clyd software, which met all of the functional requirements sought by SDIS: remote management of the annoyance with remote control, application deployment and updating, kiosk mode, etc. Compatibility with the Samsung KNOX and KME (Knox Mobile Enrolment) platform, which allows for rapid and simplified deployment of devices, was also an important factor in the choice of the MDM solution.
On a daily basis, the IT department has to manage several so-called “critical“ applications:
- The “intervention” application which informs via an alert system when an intervention is scheduled (presenting the various information related to the intervention, such as the personnel involved in the intervention, the GPS coordinates, the vehicle leaving, etc.).
- The “patient assessment” application makes it possible to draw up a dematerialised assessment form during treatment with information automatically shared with the SAMU.
- The document management application to provide a maximum of information during a particular intervention (hazardous materials, management of water points, image assistance for vehicle extrication, etc.)
The proper functioning of these applications is essential for SDIS’s IT department, particularly with a view to efficiency and performance for the intervention personnel. Clyd’s MDM solution contributes effectively to this through its centralised management and its kiosk mode, which makes it easy to release a new software version with just a few clicks.
Remote control complements the functionality of the Clyd MDM software, which is reassuring for field personnel, who know that IT will be able to assist them in the event of difficulties in use by guiding them remotely.
In conclusion, the Clyd MDM solution allows the technical teams to maintain the entire annoyance of mobile phones in operational condition and to centrally supervise the same in real time: active kiosk (security), proper functioning of the tablets, use of the tablets, connectivity to the networks, hardware and software inventories, etc.
