Mobile Device Management (MDM) software secures, monitors, manages and supports mobile devices deployed across mobile operators, service providers and enterprises. MDM functionality typically includes over-the-air distribution of applications, data and configuration settings for all types of mobile devices, including mobile phones, smartphones and tablets, mobile printers, mobile POS devices, etc. This applies to both company-owned and employee-owned devices across the enterprise or mobile devices owned by consumers.
The moment management of the Smartphones and Tablets in the corporate environment comes in picture, the concern areas that immediately strike the Enterprise are:
- Consistent security policies on all devices
- Controlled usage of personal applications like Facebook and WhatsApp
- Wipe out critical corporate data if the device is lost
- How to track and manage the diversely distributed mobile workforce
- Install and update applications remotely.
