AT&T Toggle is an enterprise mobile device management service that allows a smartphone owner to create separate personal and business environments on the same device. Although the end user can easily switch between personal and business environments, the data in each environment remains isolated.
Toggle is installed as a software application to the user's device and managed by a network administrator through a Web portal. Corporate administrators can use Toggle to deploy business applications, grant access to specific data or erase all data from a phone if an employee loses the device or leaves the company. In a computing context, to toggle is to switch back and forth between different environments or features.
AT&T is providing an opportunity to software developers to wrap mobile applications and enable them to operate securely with AT&T Toggle. App developers can use the AT&T Toggle® App Ecosystem as a virtual workspace to test, wrap, and secure their mobile apps with Toggle before uploading them to major mobile app stores. When wrapped applications are available, businesses can offer their employees a highly-secure mobile application that gives them access to company-encrypted information on their personal device.
The latest enhancements of AT&T Toggle will include: * Toggle Voice – employees can have a separate phone number to make and receive business calls and check business voicemail. * Toggle Data – allows businesses to give employees who are subscribers to certain AT&T wireless services plans a fixed amount of data for use on their personal devices. * The ability to monitor estimated data usage within the Toggle workspace. * The option for businesses to extend VPN capabilities from several vendors to AT&T Toggle and related applications. * Excellent user experience for email, contacts and calendar with
