Mobility is a hallmark of today’s enterprise environment, with everything from road-warrior iPhones to internet of things (IoT) deployments making for an increasingly complex mobile footprint. Managing mobile usage for most organizations means processing separate monthly payments for different sets of users, and/or enforcing policies for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) or company-owned, personally enabled (COPE) strategies – all of which opens the door to waste, inefficiency and cybersecurity concerns.

Mobile device management, or MDM, provides streamlined monitoring and management of mobile usage and costs. MDM platforms can offer centralized tracking of mobility expenses, the enforcement of usage policies around corporate devices, performance monitoring for IoT, data analytics, and security software and management.
