Ideally your IT guys would be running a VMware View Connection server to avoid the VPN mess. You can still do two factor authentication if needs (RSA token style). We've had customer with the new 5.2 View Agent (installed on the virtual desktop top) not work happily on Android but work fine Apple. Older versions of the agent had more success. The bad news is you will need to work with your IT team. Bribes usually work (beer, Dounuts etc). The whole point of View is the mobility aspect while keeping data onsite. Normally most companies are happy when staff want to work from home on their own equipment for free!
Good luck.
