Thanks for your reply Vikram! It looks like the Kloudgin is a full on suite of services, and interesting platform for sure.

At PG&E, we are a mix of iOS and Rugged Windows where each device serves their purpose. We do allow BYOD, but not for field work - that is limited to just PIM data (Calendar, Email, Contact and some in-house developed Apps).
