Coke: Things go better with Windows Phone
Microsoft and Nokia scored a pretty big win in the enterprise as the latter has announced that Coca-Cola selected the Nokia Lumia for its select salesforce in Vietnam and Cambodia. The phones will be used for processing orders, equipment validation and will improve Coke's execution in the market. The Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8 will allow the beverage company's employees to use Microsoft Office and sync with Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and Office365. The platform offers integration with Outlook.
Security is important for smartphones being used in the business world and the Nokia Lumia has hardware-accelerated encryption, a secure boot, sandboxed apps and is capable of being managed from a remote location. This means if a Coke employee leaves his smartphone on the floor of a bar, the confidential information inside the phone is protected.
The specific Nokia Lumia model that Coke will be using has not been disclosed.
