Banning or limiting mingled usage of personal and company owned devices is no longer an option. Enterprises have begun to realize that facilitating freedom of choice is a strategic necessity. While this has the potential to enhance productivity and help balance work and private life, it could create all kinds of nightmares for the business. With employees using all types of mobile devices to perform their jobs, managing and securing these devices has become a mission-critical task.
Younger and more tech-savvy employees (Generation Y) have more expectations from IT than Baby Boomers when it comes to mobility. IT departments struggle to support a huge array of devices, OSes, and applications, however, new devices often end up conflicting with corporate standards and security policies. IT managers are keenly aware of the need to ensure the security of their information from back-end to the frontlines. As it relates to mobility, they must protect against security breaches that might occur if mobile devices are misused, stolen or penetrated by cyber criminals. Safeguarding the integrity of data collected and maintained in the course of doing business is not just a good and necessary business practice, but in many cases it is required by industry or government regulations. IT organizations have given up on trying to deliver a uniform solution that aims to serve all workers but end up under-serving most.
Organizations have embraced mobile technology because it delivers clear and compelling benefits including increased employee productivity, reduced operational costs, improved data collection and accuracy, the ability to seize opportunities where and when they present themselves and to strengthen relationships with customers and business partners. However; the growing diversity of mobile devices, applications and wireless connectivity in use, the lack of mobile technology skill sets in many companies, and the extent of the burden these challenges present becomes apparent.
Enterprises, operators, system integrators and hardware manufacturers have been voicing the need for solid managed services that would enable them to offer their customers mobile device management and security quickly and easily without the need to install and manage any hardware or software. Essentially, these companies were looking for simplicity, reliability and a low total cost of ownership. They need a solution that would allow them to be flexible in supporting different mobile platforms and a platform to bridge different mobile ecosystems. Last but not least, it would be great if such a solution would offer the above without requiring an upfront investment. Imagine these issues were solved by one solution in the cloud of the mobile work space. Hence; Mobility at your Service!
