John, we'd love to talk to you on how EMC IT handles different cloud application access from network/firewall perspective - please reach out to your account team and ask to be connected you with EMC ITProven to discuss this topic

At the beginning yes, users didn't want to accept the EMC security controls

But later on, the adoption grew and people started using it

What was the result? Did users continue to use insecure solutions?

How did you facilitate adoption of #syncplicity?

No, once they are migrated, they started using the EMC solution

I am online - waiting to answer questions about our EMC IT rollout of Syncplicity

We started rolling out Syncplicity to support our 50,000+ EMC users in 2013

During this CrowdChat event, our expert, Wissam Halabi, will be addressing EMC’s Mobile Productivity Strategy.

Specifically, Wissam will answer your questions with regards to why Syncplicity was chosen, combating shadow IT, security concerns, deployment options, and anything else related to supporting the needs of a growing mobile workforce.

Great to meet you @wissamfhalabi thanks for hosting this Q&A

You're welcome

Using our on premise Atmos storage, we have control of the data. Additionally, we turned on few security policies on Syncplicity in the cloud to ensure the data are secure

Once a new employee is hired, an account with email address is automatically created. At the same time, a request goes to the Syncplicity team to prevision his/her Syncplicity account

We are working on automatically creating a new Syncplicity accounts using the API that was released early this year

If you are asking about Syncplicity cloud app, the client uses outbound https (port 443) to get out the Syncplicity orchestration layer in the cloud

Yes, at the beginning to the users who were using unsecure Sync and Share and didn't want to accept EMC security policies

Applying security controls (i.e. a Sharable link expires in 10 days and must have a password). Users who were using their own Sync and Share cloud solution didn’t have any security controls –once they are migrated, they didn't want these security controls
