Why Every Company Needs Mobile Device Management Solutions

In today’s world, mobile device management solutions are a must, if companies are to harness the power of mobile in growing their business.

This is the context in which mobile thrives: over the past decade, mobile devices have grown to become a critical component of business communications. It takes place in a time of quick-paced operations, where technological developments have radically changed the way products and services are deployed. Production times have been shortened, leading to surplus output that companies are keen on finding new demands for, courtesy of new markets.

Consumers have also been keeping up. They have new expectations of the brands they follow, especially in terms of the speed by which their orders and inquiries are responded to.

And now that companies are actively looking for new markets, this also becomes a time when borders between countries and markets are getting blurred, if not completely erased, where difference in timezones do not matter as much anymore, andwhere competition has become fiercer than ever. Indeed, new business players emerge each day, and from across the globe, too.

Working remotely as well as setting up offshore solutions have since become commonplace business practices, and mobile devices - from laptops to smartphones - are central to this pattern. Mobile devices allow companies to take care of their operations in different locations, and get hold of their employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while also addressing the concerns of their customers and clients as well as merchant partners in the real-time.

But the adoption of mobile in the workplace is not without its risks and challenges. For one, employees would typically have their personal gadgets, on top of the company-owned ones, accessing precious company data and constantly in touch with the customers’ information, too. To protect from these risks, mobile device management solutions can set up configurations that maximize data access while being able to control sensitive information.

Another challenge would be the availability of far too many options for devices and providers in the market, such that it could be overwhelming for companies to know which ones are the most suitable for their organization. Even monitoring each of the new devices that come out would be a time-consuming task, thankfully one that a third party service provider can now take on, aside from other telecom management functions.

The best of these third party firms are also capable of negotiating for the best telecom - be it wireline or wireless - contracts for their clients, evaluating proposals from different vendors, screening and selecting the vendor, and finally, assessing their performance based on the client’s business goals.
