MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT BENEFITS TO ENTERPRISES

Based on interviews of top-500 CIOs conducted by Coleman Parkes, enterprises see mobile operators and service providers playing significant role in supporting mobile device management, with 91% of the CIOs interviewed expecting the mobile operator to have a role in supporting the enterprise in the management of their mobile devices. The significant benefits to the enterprise of an on-demand, SaaS-based enterprise mobile device management solution include:

• Ease of implementation and ownership: A solution that is hosted by the operator/service provider means a quicker launch of mobile device management services to employees — no server or software to install, no deep learning curve for the IT staff, and no in-house platform to manage and support.
• Ongoing support for new devices/device platforms: Our relationship with mobile operators globally and directly with mobile device manufacturers means that Mformation is always supporting the latest devices and operating systems and validating them on live wireless networks around the world.
• Improved enterprise productivity and efficiency: It saves time, reduces costs, and boosts efficiency to install, configure, update and remove applications on devices over the air rather than on site. With over-the-air enterprise mobile device management, users and devices can be supported remotely, ensuring that employees are more productive and IT time is used effectively.
• Ensure device security and compliance: The ability to remotely lock, disable, or wipe clean a lost or stolen device reduces corporate risk. The ability to enforce corporate security policies through deployment and management of data encryption, anti-virus, VPN, access control and authentication solutions ensures consistent security and enforcement for all mobile employees.
• Streamlined mobile asset management: The ability to obtain a full audit of the mobile devices, applications and software in use within the enterprise enables IT to quickly assess the status of these key assets
