Mobile Device Management

Mobile phone and laptop

Progress, don’t you love it! Those young ones reading this might find it hard to believe but it’s only 30 years or so ago that a mobile phone was a complete rarity and attracted a great deal of attention, not least because it had to be carried in something resembling a flight bag and demanded some degree of muscle because, boy, were those batteries heavy.

Nowadays mobiles rule the world and no-one would be without theirs. We expect our laptops to talk to our desktops and our mobiles to talk to both of them and the whole thing to work in perfect synchronicity so that everything can be found on all our devices, and, by and large, it all does. Here’s our question…whilst our home lives may be pretty well sorted, digitally speaking, how about at work? How integrated are all your devices there? Do you, for instance, use your personal mobile for business use, or your tablet? And if you do, who are you sharing with and who else could have access to your business information. Come to that, how secure is the data on your mobile devices? Would you be concerned if you left your mobile in a café or on a train?

In asking these questions we’re not scare-mongering. The truth is that technology has outpaced cyber-safety, which explains why terms such as hacking and malware have become every day. Our suggestion is simple. Ensure that all your mobile business communications, from whatever device you and your work colleagues are using, use a dedicated Mobile Device Management platform at all times, without exception. The type we’re suggesting will manage all your business apps and content on any device, at all times, no matter where the device is being used, guaranteeing you full mobile security that can be tailored to meet your specific business needs.

What will our Mobile Device Management system do for you? Well, for a start it will give you the ability to wipe any company information off an ex-employee’s mobile device. It will define and restrict the Apps that can be installed, locate lost devices, automatically update Email, VPN’s and Wi-Fi profiles, update all devices as required with things like price lists and even turn off the camera on any devices when they’re onsite. And that’s just some of what this can do.

Ultimately this is something that adds a layer of protection to your business. It’s a platform that will make your business more efficient, more streamlined and digitally safer, why not call us for more details?
