Enterprise Mobile Device Management

Enterprise mobile device management gives complete control over enterprise mobile environments and employee devices

Enterprises around the globe are deploying sophisticated mobile devices to an ever-greater number of users. This trend, combined with the devices’ growing storage capacity and ability to access corporate data and applications, makes mobile device management and security a business-critical issue. As a result, enterprises are looking to gain control over their mobile environment and the mobile devices being used by their employees.

In a survey conducted for Mformation by independent research firm Coleman Parkes Research Ltd., 79 percent of CIOs recognized a need for mobile device management solutions. About 80 percent of CIOs surveyed indicated device management is becoming more difficult and complex. To deal with the rapidly evolving mobile environment, enterprises want a management solution that involves their key mobile network operators. And they want a solution that gives them day-to-day control of their valuable corporate mobile assets and ensures the security of critical corporate information. In fact, 91 percent of CIOs surveyed in the Coleman Parkes research indicated that they expect the mobile operator to be part of this solution.

Mobile operators can meet the mobile management and security needs of their enterprise customers with an advanced Mobile Device Management (MDM) environment tailored to their specific needs. This provides every enterprise with complete control over their own mobile environment and the mobile devices being used by their employees. An enterprise device management solution provides a number of benefits:

• Operators can offer each enterprise secure, customized access to MDM functionality as a value-added service, enabling the IT department to directly manage its own mobile devices and mobile data
• Security technologies such as device lock, wipe and control; password management; feature control; encryption; antivirus and more are integrated into a single platform
• An operator-hosted solution significantly reduces deployment complexity for the enterprise as well as upfront costs.
• Integrated MDM platforms help generate a loyal customer base for the mobile operator and enhance data revenues from key enterprise customers

Enterprise-wide device management is enabled by the Enterprise Manager product, which provides enterprises with a secure, customized portal for self management of their wireless environments. Enterprise Manager is part of Mformation’s integrated MDM solution, MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER™.
