Mobile device management (MDM) expert Vicki Hawkins has been helping businesses gain increased access to company devices for over eight years. With over 24 years in the telecommunications industry, Hawkins has guided hundreds of companies to solutions that fit each of their needs and wants. After working in the realm of account/project management including deployments with provisioning, staging and kitting, MDM was the next natural step in her career.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a type of application that allows the administration or IT department at a business, school or organization to have more control of devices they have purchased and deployed. You can learn more about our definition of MDM here.
MDM applications can be as limited or flexible as the user requires them to function. Mobile device management gives businesses comprehensive access to everything from device content to backend settings based on their unique needs. Certain MDMs allow the company to ship end users (most times, employees in the field) ready-to-use devices for an exceptional out-of-the-box experience.
Businesses achieve many financial, safety and efficiency benefits when they invest in mobile device management. On the financial side of things, MDMs can be a cost-effective solution or assisting solution for asset protection. When an MDM-controlled device is lost, stolen or misplaced, the management application is able to disable the device and protect any data that may have become vulnerable. If a company is dispatching employees to multiple locations, a geofencing function allows them to increase the safety of each dispatched employee. MDM’s can also largely increase the efficiency of organizations through quick application deployment. With access to change the content on any remotely connected device, MDMs remove the barrier of changing existing tools.
Companies like yours usually choose mobile device management solutions for one or both of the following reasons:
Several organizations assume certain liabilities when they deploy devices to internal users. A good example of this is when educational institutions lease devices to students. If a student misuses a device, but the institution did not take necessary precautions to prevent them from doing so, the organization could be held responsible. By utilizing an MDM application, organizations can safely minimize risks like these.
With the ability to preload and preconfigure devices for employee use, IT departments are able to choose the best tools for their employees without concern of how they will implement the changes. This also allows employees to continue doing their job without taking up their valuable time setting up or troubleshooting devices.
