Okta Mobility Management now offers new enterprise-class features and support for Android for Work, PCs and OS X.

These enhanced offerings simplify the way people connect to business technology, while increasing IT efficiencies and enforcing strong security policies across organizations.
"With today's identity and mobility announcements, we are extending the breadth and depth of application integrations and introducing the intelligence and workflow necessary to automate across the entire user lifecycle. In addition, Okta Mobility Management is ready for any enterprise and now delivers even more value beyond traditional mobile devices to OS X," said Eric Berg, Okta's chief product officer.

As a result, enterprises and ISVs can fulfill their missions more quickly and securely."
More Apps, More Devices, Better User Experience
Okta today announced updates to its enterprise mobility management offering, Okta Mobility Management. The enhancements create a consistent, secure user experience across all devices, as well as simplify administration of security and configuration policies for IT. Updates include:
"Trunk Club employees are incredibly mobile and we want to enable them to work efficiently from any device, anywhere. We've depended on Okta for identity management for over a year, so choosing Okta Mobility Management to manage our employees' iOS and Android devices was a no brainer. Now, using Okta Verify and Okta Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication, we've made it easier and more secure for off-network employees to log in by asking for approval with a simple click," said Rick Pollak, Trunk Club's director of IT. "We're excited to push our internally-developed apps to our employees' mobile devices and our warehouse. Okta's updates will help our people work even more efficiently and securely without sacrifice."
Deeper Integrations, Flexible Rules Engine, Collaborative Workflow
Okta also introduced enhancements to further simplify provisioning and deprovisioning for IT professionals and developers, increase visibility into application access, and improve compliance. Updates include:
"The SmartRecruiters Talent Acquisition Platform unlocks the recruiting power of every employee at a company, often at some of the world's largest companies. So when our customer, Informatica, asked us to work with Okta to build a provisioning integration to the Okta Application Network, we jumped at the opportunity to make our platform even more accessible and secure," said Brett Queener, SmartRecruiters' president and COO. "With Okta's Cloud Provisioning SDK, we built an integration in under two weeks. Now our customers benefit from Okta's various provisioning features, making it even easier for them to deploy SmartRecruiters and achieve hiring success."
