Since mobile technology infiltrated the mainstream office, businesses have embraced it as a valuable communication tool. That said, mobile devices are also keys allowing hackers and other potential thieves access to your most inner sanctums. Today, we want to go over some of the options you have for mobile device management and why it’s such an important concept for your business.
The horror of a misplaced device is not lost on us—if anything, it’s a fresh hell that the industry deals with on a regular basis.
Misplaced mobile devices can cost your business in both money, productivity and reputation, so you need to take action to keep track of these devices. We recommend a Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool for this purpose. You’ll be able to keep tabs on your company-owned devices, even if your team uses a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy.
Let’s discuss the nitty-gritty details of the MDM.
