Mobility

An enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions provider delivers the technology and expertise organizations use to securely manage mobile devices, applications, and data at scale. These providers offer centralized platforms that enable IT teams to provision, configure, monitor, and secure smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other endpoints used for work. By enforcing security policies, controlling access to corporate resources, and ensuring regulatory compliance, EMM solutions help organizations protect sensitive data while supporting a flexible, mobile workforce.

Mobile device management (MDM) focuses on controlling devices with features such as enrollment and remote wipe. EMM expands on this by adding application management, data security, and compliance capabilities. Ask yourself, what challenges are you hoping to solve when creating an enterprise mobility strategy? If those challenges include:

• Data Breaches — The risk of data breaches increases as employees become more mobile. For example, adding more portable devices enhances the risk of breaches through theft, hacking via public WiFi networks, and misplacement. More endpoints mean a larger attack surface for cyber criminals to enter your network.
• Device Diversity — Using devices of different makes, builds, and operating systems can create a fragmented mobile environment. These environments pose critical security risks and incompatibility issues.
• Hyperconnectivity — While becoming more connected benefits your workforce, hyperconnectivity increases exposure to data risks, security loopholes, and malicious applications. It also highlights the need for even more robust security policies for employees.

MDM will not address these issues. It’s important to work with a trusted mobility solutions provider when crafting an enterprise mobility management strategy. From mobile device procurement and management to application management and security there are challenges to consider whether you are a 50-person organization or 50,000.

Companies are increasingly realizing the benefits of IoT-enabled devices in optimizing their processes as they shift to new work models.

IoT-enabled devices help to simplify data processes and employee tracking. Enterprise mobility management helps connect and monitor devices to create actionable insights from IoT gathered data and support your company’s continuous improvement programs.

Outsourcing the management of your devices and hardware to a professional provider can yield significant business benefits financially and operationally. Some of the main reasons why companies are making the switch include:

• Reduce Overhead – Managing device procurement, deployment, and maintenance internally is costly and time‑consuming. Partnering with MetTel shifts these responsibilities off your plate, lowering operational costs and creating long‑term savings.
• Free Up Internal Resources – Give your IT team more time to focus on other business activities by outsourcing tasks like procurement, onboarding, and deploying new devices.
• Access Better Technology – Staying ahead of the technology curve is necessary to fulfill your security obligations and get the most out of your team.
• Give Your Employees More Freedom – Allow your teams to choose devices from an approved list to give them the products they feel most comfortable using while staying within the limits of your budget and security policy. Plus, MetTel provides cross-carrier pooling because what carrier works for one employee in Sacramento might be different from another in Chicago.
• Eliminate the Unknowns – The unknowns associated with BYOD policies increase your risk exposure. MetTel’s MDaaS gives your company total control over all Internet-enabled devices, making identifying, managing, and mitigating risk more straightforward.
