Mobile Device and Application Management
Mobile Device and Application Management
As companies rapidly expand their mobile workforces, many employees now utilize a smart phone, laptop and perhaps a tablet as well to complete their daily tasks. While mobile employees have the ability to work anyplace at any time, this flexibility introduces new challenges:
- The risk of device theft or loss
- Security of enterprise data, and
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) considerations.
Also, as companies push more mobile applications to their employees’ devices, this software needs to be properly managed.
A Single, Complete View of All Assets and Applications
In order to meet these challenges, it’s essential to have full visibility into the mobile devices and applications that are running on your network. Eracent provides two approaches that enable you to see everything in your mobile environment as part of your organization’s overall asset portfolio.
- If your organization requires a comprehensive Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution, the Eracent Mobility Manager™ offers a broad range of functionality and is based on the leading IBM MaaS360® platform.
- On the other hand, if your organization already utilizes another EMM tool such as AirWatch, MobileIron, Microsoft InTune or Blackberry Enterprise Mobility Suite (Good Technologies), pre-configured Eracent Data Extractors (EDEs) make your mobile device and application data from these tools available for management and reporting alongside your server and desktop assets and software. This consolidated access point permits more accurate reporting of all assets that are owned and being utilized, and it makes tasks like refresh planning and budgeting easier as well.
