Abstract
A computing system includes an endpoint management server and a mobile device. The mobile device enrolls with the endpoint management server, and downloads a calendar app from the endpoint management server. The calendar app is used to schedule a meeting between a user of the mobile device and a host at a physical workplace. The endpoint management server is notified in response to the mobile device entering into a geo-fence of the physical workplace. The mobile device then receives an access code from the endpoint management server, and displays the access code to provide access by the user to the physical workplace.
