The shift towards enterprise mobility brings with it a new set of challenges to overcome. Here are a few of the issues you may encounter in your business, and how to overcome them through mobile device management:
Businesses rely on mobile devices to meet a vast variety of needs. Fluency in terms of device integration is of utmost importance for workflows to be execute properly. In the absence of certain protocols professionals run the risk of experiencing compatibility issues. This is true especially if the individual is using a personal device that doesn’t meet the business’s standard update procedure. A full-company MDM policy can help ensure efficiency and compatibility across the board.
Hackers and scammers target both large and small businesses as well as their employees, customers, and even potential customers. The key for businesses is to monitor and fix security holes at as many points of contact as possible, including using mobile device management to remotely secure devices and ensure security features are updated as often as possible.
Accidents are a major cause of data loss for individual users–Consider how often you’ve heard someone ask how to dry a wet device. Connectivity to the cloud can enable businesses to automatically create backups. No matter what happens to a device, important data and information can be retrieved by accessing the most recent cloud backup.
The business apps a company uses should enable users to do tasks quickly, efficiently, accurately, and most importantly, safely. Otherwise, it’s just taking up memory on the mobile device. Apps should also be tested thoroughly for both security flaws, to make sure that they are the ideal solutions they present themselves to be.
Staff should be able to use their mobile device in any part of the office. They should also be able to access important data when they are out of the office. If you have a number of people who travel for work, they should never have to worry about running into unexpected downtime.
A great user experience is the key to easy adoption of a device. No mobile device management strategy will be successful or cost-efficient if workers can’t or don’t use the tools you supply. User input is important when you are making a change. Listening to users can help you determine what works best in a variety of situations.
Mobile devices are constantly evolving. This can result in compatibility and, even worse, functionality issues. Keeping up with cutting-edge advancements and impending changes is important to your business success. However, it can be time-consuming and difficult to do if you are trying to do everything in-house.
A reliable mobile device management service can provide solutions to these common challenges at an affordable price, taking the worry out of enterprise mobility.
