Article: “Save Money with Shared iPad for Business”
Project Overview: I had the privilege of managing the entire lifecycle of the "Shared iPad for Business" project at SOTI Inc, from initial ideation through to the successful Go-To-Market (GTM) launch. This project marked a significant milestone in addressing a pressing need for businesses, offering a solution that not only boosts productivity but also simplifies IT management and fortifies data security.
Project Description: Shared iPad for Business, a feature integrated into SOTI MobiControl, was conceived as a solution to a common issue faced by organizations worldwide. The absence of efficient Shared iPad capabilities for businesses had led to a series of problems, including reduced productivity, elevated IT management overhead, and heightened data security risks. To tackle these challenges, we developed a feature that allows multiple employees to share a single iPad while preserving a personalized and secure experience for each user.

With Shared iPad for Business, employees could seamlessly share a single device, eliminating the need for multiple iPads and streamlining tasks that require mobility and flexibility.
Reduced IT Management Overhead: Managing individual devices for each employee is resource-intensive. By enabling multiple users to sign in and out of a single iPad using their unique Managed Apple IDs, our feature significantly reduced IT management overhead. It simplified device provisioning, user onboarding, and troubleshooting.
Data Security: Data security is a top priority for organizations. Shared iPad for Business ensured that users' apps and data remained completely separated, safeguarding privacy and security. It mitigated the risk of unauthorized data access and potential data breaches.
