In today’s world, the smartphone is ubiquitous. In fact, did you know that over 1.2 billion people access the web from their smartphones on a daily basis? This is a staggering number, and it clearly reflects the prominence of smart phones around the world. It is important to note that people are relying on smartphones not only for personal use, but also for business use. And in regards to smartphones in the workplace, companies are increasingly adopting lax BYOD policies, in which employees are allows to bring their own devices. Over course, there kinds of policies do prove highly advantageous: a recent poll by IBM found that three quarters of IT managers favor a BYOD (bring your own device) approach to technology, since it can increase productivity. And in fact, a flexible workplace (including BYOD technology initiatives) can increase employee productivity by 20 percent .
However, mobile device management policies and mobile device management systems need to be in place in order to prevent security breaches. Fully one quarter of companies allow BYOD but do not have any kind of management system in place and a third of employees who use a personal mobile device for work say that their company’s data is not encrypted or secure. This could have catastrophic implications. For example, imagine a company phone was lost or stolen from an employee. If that phone contained confidential company information or sensitive company data, anyone could easily gain access.
Therefore, overall mobile management, including Mdm software, is essential. This helps companies to keep track of devices and secure them in the event that they are lost or stolen. In particular, cloud computing is a great option. Cloud computing’s accessibility makes it easy to integrate mobile devices with enterprise systems. Overall, effective mobile management is essential in today’s world.
What an interesting and informative article. I had no idea that MDM policies were so essential.
