Mobile Device Management
business challenge
Enterprises have recognized that mobile communications
makes them competitive by giving them the ability to collect,
integrate, secure, analyze and distribute business-critical
information to end users in any location.
While early mobility deployments typically focused on allowing
nomadic workers to access their email and contact information,
today’s mobile workers are clamoring for much more. They
want access to business-critical applications and corporate
data that was previously available only within the hardened
walls of their companies.
In order to move to this next level, IT departments need to
tighten their mobile strategy and protect sensitive data by
implementing technology to help monitor and manage mobile
devices in the field, including security, configuration and
software updates.
our solution
Our Mobile Device Management solution helps IT departments
achieve control over their mobile estate by providing a
central Web-based console that enables device monitoring,
configuration enforcement, application updates, patch
management and over-the-air encryption. The solution also
includes powerful process automation and content distribution
capabilities. It will be available internationally for a large range
of operating systems, including: Windows Mobile, Symbian,
iPhone/iPad, BlackBerry, Java and Android (available soon).
our approach
Mobile Device Management is based on market-leading software from Sybase.
The service is currently in pilot phase with a few customers, and the official
product
release is scheduled for H2 2010. It is available now for enterprises looking
to test
the solution as a proof of concept. We will offer it as a fully managed software-as-aservice
(SaaS) with three tiered levels of functionality:
- standard pack: includes asset database and configuration
- security pack: also includes security features (firewall and anti virus)
- premium pack: also includes remote control and content distribution
the result
By deploying Mobile Device Management, you will be able to control your entire
fleet
of mobile devices, guarantee the quality of service provided to all end users
and
ensure the security of your company’s information. Because the solution is delivered
as a SaaS, you need no initial hardware investment, and it is available immediately
without a long deployment time. It is also easily scalable and, with our network
infrastructure, we are able to deliver the greatest possible availability.
