Mobile Device Management

With more and more companies realising the benefits mobility can bring to an organisation it is evident that the skill required to install and support this technology may not exist in-house.

Rapidly changing devices and operating systems can consume internal resources and shift focus from their other objectives. Businesses are finding that Mobile devices can be more challenging to manage and control than traditional PC’s or Laptops.

Beyond Mobile Device Management

The number of mobile device platforms has proliferated in recent years. Employee devices which run on these platforms, with their increasing power and capabilities, are entering the enterprise in growing numbers - creating challenges for IT departments who must deploy and support them in the areas of mobile device support, device and data security, application delivery, Over-the-Air (OTA) device activation and control, data synchronization, and device deactivation.

Smartphones in the enterprise introduce new challenges not addressed by traditional laptop mobility strategies.

Multi-platform: There is no industry standard for smartphone operating systems. A one-platform strategy cannot keep pace with smartphone innovation and end-user demand.

High Cost: Mobile expenses explode as end users demand smartphones. Getting costs under control requires user accountability and real-time visibility into usage spikes and service quality.

Poor Visibility: Companies don’t know what’s on their smartphones or how they are being used. Massive aggregate storage on such easily lost units becomes a security and compliance risk.

Consumer-driven: Employee-owned phones connect to the enterprise. Company and personal data get mixed. Enterprise data boundaries must be enforced to balance security and privacy.

The MobileIron Virtual Smartphone Platform is the first solution to combine data-driven smartphone management with real-time wireless cost control. It provides visibility into what's on a smartphone and how it's being used, letting both IT and users better secure data and control costs without compromising privacy, even on employee-owned phones. The Virtual Smartphone Platform is packaged as an easy-to-install server that plugs into your corporate network and is up and running in less than a day.
