Apple and IBM add 10 MobileFirst enterprise applications

It's only been a year since Apple and IBM announced their partnership to create "MobileFirst," and since then, IBM has maintained an extremely efficient system thanks to the suite of applications used by its employees. Last Thursday, it was announced that Apple and IBM added 10 more applications to the MobileFirst enterprise suite, bringing the total to 32.

The new applications focus on new areas including business travel, change management, and field operations. This suite of applications is essential for users who need tools to manage travel and all aspects of business. With the travel apps, users can view online recommendations for trips and plan itineraries . Furthermore, the "Travel Track" app allows users to travel while their devices are linked to those of their colleagues , facilitating communication , which is crucial during business trips.

This toolkit includes two important apps called “Shift Sync” – available for iPhone and Apple Watch – and “Shift Track” – only for iPad –.

This combination of apps on your mobile device will allow you to control your free time and even make modifications. If your company is heavily reliant on technology, managers can track changes made to the system (and even authorize some), which is crucial for a constantly evolving business. However, the apps available in MobileFirst can only be used on one or two Apple devices at a time, so each employee must use the suite on the allowed number of Apple devices.

Another application is "Connect," which sends job alerts (a feature not previously seen in an application) periodically to inform users if a technician is needed.
