Dell Latitude 10 tablet offers enhanced security and easy deployment

Telecom Lead America: Dell introduced the Latitude 10 enhanced security configuration tablet designed to address the costly and time consuming management and security challenges faced by organizations deploying tablets.The Dell Latitude 10 is suitable for highly regulated industries such as government agencies, financial institutions and healthcare organizations. It is ideal for organizations that must comply with stringent regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).

Dell and Intel-commissioned Harris Interactive conducted an online survey of 204 U.S. healthcare IT decision makers which highlighted the tablet management challenges faced by organizations today. The results show that although 51 percent of the healthcare organizations surveyed have deployed tablets, they can cost significantly more time and money to manage than other standard Windows-based devices such as laptops and desktops.

According to the results of the Harris survey, institutions managing tablets spend an estimated $2,235.20 to configure them to work within their organizations. Fifty-one percent of tablet using institutions report that the devices required additional software or tools beyond what is used to manage laptops and desktops. Forty-two percent of IT decision makers in tablet using organizations spent between 10 and 29 minutes per tablet to achieve the same level of security inherent in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips. Forty-four percent reported that there are applications that are currently used in their organization on desktop and laptop computers that tablets cannot access.
