Synchronizing Google calendar and contacts without ActiveSync

Ivanti EPMM allows you to configure managed iOS devices to synchronize with Google calendar and contact data directly, rather than through ActiveSync. Synchronizing Google calendar and contact data with iOS devices using a CalDAV or CardDAV configuration allows data to synchronize more quickly with devices and without an ActiveSync configuration.

Create a CalDAV or CardDAV configuration so that users will be able to access their Google calendar and contact data.
