This is what Roel said about XFA:

" Byteflies is a medical device company. We want to change the future of healthcare. We really want to have a big impact on patients because we believe that having more factual data about a patient will allow physicians to provide much better treatments. Currently, the only place where you can get a very detailed set of information about patients is in the hospital."

"We had this "bring your own device" strategy even before XFA was available, so we were early adopters when XFA was released."

"The three things I enjoy the most about XFA was the ease of enrolling people. It was a quick and efficient process. Also, It's user-friendly and straightforward for onboarding. Additionally, I value that it supports a bring-your-own-device policy, unlike many other tools out there. Lastly, it provides the freedom to operate from anywhere without the need for VPNs, which are both costly and restrictive."

"Our people work in various locations—sometimes in the office, but also on the train, on planes, at conferences across Europe or the US, and often in hospitals where our clients are. Our devices are everywhere, I would say, all over the place."

"Cybersecurity is a crucial topic here. We capture patient data, and although it is anonymized, it is still very sensitive. Ensuring that data is secure is vital for us because our clients need to trust that we keep their patients' data safe."

"We work with a very technical audience, and although not in all worlds, we give them full admin rights on their devices. They can install and do whatever they want on their devices, which provides the most flexibility for them to do their job. However, it makes securing our devices challenging. A classical managed device strategy wouldn't work for us."

"When it comes to laptops, we provide our people with devices. For phones or iPads, people use their own devices. So, we have a combination of bring-your-own-device and devices we hand out, but even those we hand out are not managed devices."

"XFA helps us a lot by ensuring that the basic security needs and fundamentals are checked and by giving us control over who needs a second nudge from us."
