Accellion Inc. today announced that it has added new mobile capabilities to its award winning kiteworks secure content platform.
As users increasingly turn to smartphones, laptops, tablets and wearable devices to view, share and manage information, enterprises must adapt and offer users the same level of functionality and security they are used to when using a desktop computer. Accellion’s new mobile features provide end users the ability to access content securely whenever and wherever.

Their recent mobile enhancements, particularly integration with Microsoft Office on iOS and the ability to push and synchronize content onto mobile devices should further enable the safe and easy accessing, sharing and managing of content across all devices.”
Accellion’s new kiteworks mobile features include the following key capabilities such as:Integration with Microsoft Office for iOS that enables users to use native Microsoft Office applications on iOS devices and allows them to securely open, edit and save files automatically in kiteworks.
