Is managing phones and mobile devices causing you to lose sleep? It is a complaint we have heard many times before, especially for businesses that manage large numbers of devices for employees. Setting up a new device is time-consuming and manual! When an employee leaves, re-allocating the device is difficult and time-consuming. Sound familiar?
These pain points are common, but they don’t have to be inevitable. A Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution can help streamline these processes, improve efficiency, and take the headaches out of managing a fleet of devices.
How MDM Makes Life Easier
Here at Colden Company, we help take the pain out of managing a fleet of mobile devices. With an we can create and apply policies for groups of devices, allowing you to tailor device configurations to meet the specific needs of your employees..
For example, do technicians need a certain set of apps? Push them to phones using a specific profile for those employees. Pushing applications upon initial setup is a huge time saver over manually installing applications. Office workers may need very secure devices and require a long PIN code perhaps but use different apps than field technicians. Different policies for different users make this all possible.
Beyond Device Deployment
A Mobile Device Management solution is not just useful when first deploying a phone. In addition to applying a profile on setup, an MDM solution can perform useful tasks like wiping a phone or tablet that has been stolen or finding it if location services are turned on.
Do you want to ensure your employees are not playing Candy Crush all day or surfing Facebook during work hours? Simply block unwanted apps in the profile. There are many different use cases for an MDM to provide value, including on the security front where applying security patches is an important part of the businesses responsibilities.
Security is another critical area where MDM shines. Businesses have a responsibility to keep their devices secure, and applying regular security patches is essential. With an MDM solution, you can automate this process, ensuring devices stay up-to-date with minimal effort.
Enhanced Capabilities with Apple and Samsung
If your business relies on Apple or Samsung devices, programs like Apple Business Manager and Samsung Knox can add even more value when paired with an MDM solution. With Apple Business Manager you can have devices auto-enroll in their platform to manage Apple IDs and devices in one place. Apple Business Manager is not a true MDM platform but can be paired with one. When configured properly, devices can be auto-enrolled in Apple Business Manager AND your Mobile Device Management platform. Apply a profile to the device and setup went from a huge headache to a streamlined process! No more lost sleep thinking about mobile devices!
The Bottom Line
Managing a fleet of mobile devices doesn’t have to be a source of stress. With the right tools and expertise, you can turn a time-consuming, manual process into a streamlined, automated one. MDM solutions not only simplify device deployment but also provide ongoing benefits like enhanced security, app management, and remote capabilities.
