Hello all,

 

We are pleased to share with you some insights and achievements of our mobile only strategy. But first, I am really not sure sure you have heard about Thales !

 

 

 

Thales’s mission is to empower customers to face their decisive moments with confidence. Some key figures and core business below :

 

 

 

What is our main idea ?
Android devices are enough mature to start creating a working environment in Mobile Only strategy which means replacing PCs when they are not relevant.
Which leads to:
- Increased end users productivity
- Reduced business and IT costs
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Better attractiveness and digital modernity for end users

 

What we have achieved since 2021?

The 1st step of this long journey 
- An agile project method focusing on the end user, really
- A configuration designed, built and maintained WITH security officers from day 1.
- An end-to-end solution imagined for the last step.
- A 1st macro use case   frontline workers, focus on logistics and production

 

Just have a look on this video released in 2022, showing our fisrt production line in with our new digital workplace !

 

 

I hope you liked it! 2 years ago already…

 

 

What are our next steps ?

    Thanks for sharing @vincent!

     

    It's naturally been a few years since you began this undertaking, how do the challenges you faced back then compare to now? We've had a few OS releases, many more models.. and even wider adoption of desktop modes (lenovo, moto to name just two (or is that technically one..)) 🙂

    @jasonbayton we have noted a notable evolution of Samsung Dex since 2023 with an improved experience and a better interface of the most used applications, either by vendors or by the adaptation of our legacy applications.

    We reach a point where we believe we can reach the next milestone soon.

      Thanks for sharing this! More and more customers are thinking about a mobile only, of one device strategy where Samsung DeX plays a key role. For me it feels the most stable platform and the best match for corporate use. 

       

      I'm currently in a pilot with 2 customers who want to make the switch to DeX for their employees.

        Indeed more and more companies are understanding how valuable is this move.

         

        Fisrtlineworkers fisrt, such as operators on production or salers in retail. 

        Most concrete use case is around police officers : by using theirs smartphones with a keybord they can perform all reports in their vehicle,  no more need to go back to the office.

         

        The mobile only movement is launched!
