La mobilité dans la Banque a toujours été étroitement liée à la sécurité des informations transmises. Jusqu’à présent, les Blackberry étaient ainsi souvent la seule solution retenue. Mais l’iPhone, apprécié pour sa simplicité et son design, fait dorénavant également des émules pour une utilisation professionnelle et risque très prochainement d’égratigner les parts de RIM sur ce marché.
Last month, two Deutsche Bank analysts released a report praising Apple’s corporate email services, following a two-month trial in which they swapped their BlackBerry handsets for iPhones.
Now UBS has confirmed that more than 1,000 staff members are taking part in a pilot program that allows them to access company emails, calendars and contacts using a secure application for the iPhone and iPad.
A spokesman for UBS said employees across the bank’s divisions had been testing the app since it was launched last year, although the bank stressed it was for use on personal handsets and it doesn’t offer Apple devices to its staff.
