Why does your business need Mobile Device Management?

Smartphones and mobile devices are fast becoming the central engine for small and medium business operations across all industries. Whether they are used to connect remote workers to those in the field, or in the main office or simply used to record sales or important documents, it is important to consider if you are keeping your business mobiles secure.

Increased reliance on mobile devices brings with it the inevitable increased risks of data breaches or not adhering to regulatory compliance. SMBs should consider the effect that this can have on their business and consider installing mobile device management (MDM) or risk falling victim to a costly security breach.

Mobile Device Management softwares like the popular Samsung Knox allow you to control and enforce your company’s mobile usage policies on all employee smartphones and/or tablets. Not only does it help to enhance security, but you can also minimise downtime and adjust settings or updates from one administrator across all devices.

What are the main advantages of investing in MDM?

• You can easily track lost or stolen devices and enforce strong password policies so that in the event that a handset goes missing, the data is protected.

• You can also remotely wipe devices that go missing to ensure data security

• Roll out updates, security changes and applications to all devices from one central hub.

• The solution is priced per user, so you will only pay for what you are using.

• You can choose on-premises or cloud based options to suit your business needs

• You can restrict what your device users can download, such as social media apps or games.

Alongside tangible advantages and features that come with an MDM solution, is the peace of mind that your business is protected against security breaches with real time remote support available from your IT team directly to device users. Not only will this help to reduce downtime and technical issues between sites, it will also increase productivity for employees with the most up to date apps and softwares that support them to do their job.
