The Challenge: Meeting the Need of Limit Employees' Device Usage

With the help of company devices, employees can conduct meeting with clients, share information and collaborate on tasks, regardless of their location. However, managing these devices was a daunting task.

  • GAPCO Kenya needed a way to limit employees' device use for work-centered tasks, avoiding misuse for personal needs or entertainment.

That's why GAPCO Kenya needed a robust, reliable, and user-friendly Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. After comparing many solutions on the market, GAPCO Kenya found the perfect fit with Imgn.
