Based on our experiences with various government projects, we request department to consider following SDK capabilties also as minimum pre-requisite to ensure that tablets can be used optimally - (1) Creation of closed environment for enterprise work (Kiosk Mode) means it would only be used for a specific purpose of financial transactions. This ensures that users are not able to install keyloggers/ root the device to compromise biometric data. (2) Prevent factory reset on the devices which makes the device secure. (3) White list & blacklist desired App as desired by the department which makes sure the optimum usage of device. Department should be able to integrate these SDKs in their application at a later date to achieve functionality provided by MDM platform. This will ensure that MDM license cost is optimised. SDK API details should be provided during bid submission. A prototype demo app can also be delivered during evaluation phase. Note- Device will not be rooted to deliver this functionality
