MDSL SMART MDM: Challenges
Companies face a number of challenges today in implementing an effective MDM policy.
Security
- Users increasingly use smart devices to store corporate data: IT’s challenge is to keep this data secure.
- Companies are turning to Smart MDM's security functions to manage passwords and encryption, and to back up the data held on remote devices.
- Organisations also need the ability to remotely wipe data over the air if a user loses their device – and to restore it from an up-to-date archive, to ensure business continuity.
Application Management
- With no industry standards for controlling the creation of mobile applications, the threat of a virus or malware attack is constantly present.
- Smart MDM gives you full control, allowing you to monitor which applications users download to their devices. Meanwhile, MDSL’s Self-service Portal lets users request application downloads themselves directly from the corporate applications catalogue.
Policy Enforcement
- Companies are looking for ways to manage how their mobile devices are used and ensure they comply with corporate policy.
- Smart MDM enables you to automatically identify which OS platforms and versions are in use, while simultaneously filtering access to corporate servers. It also detects policy violations (eg unauthorised international roaming) and, if necessary, takes appropriate action.
Cost Management
- Smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used to download large volumes of data. So a system to notify you and your users in advance when, for example, they’re about to exceed their roaming allowance or are making excessive use of premium rate numbers, is invaluable.
- End-users can also access the easy-to-use Self-service Portal to view all relevant information in real-time, for auto-regulation and maximum cost visibility.
- The Challenges: Companies face a number of challenges today in implementing an effective MDM policy.
- Features: Smart MDM offers a number of features to help address those challenges.
- Case Study: Learn how Smart MDM helped a small team of 5 to manage an estate of 12,000+ mobile devices.
