The Canadian firm said that with Good Dynamics in Microsoft Azure, the number of businesses growing in emerging enterprise cloud environments could leverage improved security to ensure critical business data is never put at risk.

That also meant that there was no need to invest in their own IT infrastructure.

The company stated that Good Dynamics was also tightly integrated with BES12 for secure holistic end-to-end capabilities.
