VPLS Enterprise Mobility Management: Manage Every Device And Application

The 21st-century workplace is not only built with brick and mortar. It requires hard working and happy employees to support and manage day-to-day operations. Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) aims to increase productivity while also ensuring your employees feel their best, regardless of whether they are working from their office desk, sitting comfortably at home, or on the road. EMM allows employees to stay connected, 24/7!

Enterprise mobility is primarily comprised of four areas:

Employees—in the office or telecommuting
Devices—smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers
Data—documents, presentations, data backups, etc.
Networking—Wireless networks, cloud computing, collaboration services, telephony

Greater Mobility, Same High-Security:

Security risks can make a business more vulnerable and upend all the usefulness of a mobile workplace. It’s one thing to have all of your equipment such as computers and phones in one physical place, where it’s a lot less likely that someone will be able to steal items as well as access your company’s data. But if you have mobile devices across town, across the country, or around the world, then it’s much easier for not only smartphones or laptops to be lost or stolen, but for a security breach to happen.

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is what makes a mobile workplace safer and more manageable. EMM will put systems in place such as encryption, password protection, VPN tunnels, and remote wipe technology that will help to protect your company’s data from falling into the wrong hands.

While instituting an EMM strategy, issues can arise if your company isn’t running on the same mobile and desktop platforms and/or your company has different kinds of devices for its employees. Android alone bring a myriad of manufacturers, models, and OS versions.

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy has become a recent trend for companies, where employees will use their own devices for professional use (e.g., a smartphone that can access corporate email). Because these devices are not technically under the purview of your IT department, then there could be an increased susceptibility to malware and other security concerns that can affect your business’s data.

A BYOD policy doesn’t have to derail your plans for a safe mobile workplace. What undergirds an effective EMM strategy is a Mobile Device Management (MDM) strategy. Specifically MDM deals with keeping company and personal data separate, email security, document security on mobile devices, company policy enforcement, and the integration of the various mobile devices. As the number of different devices and applications grows, having a strong and nimble MDM system will keep your business well-connected and well protected.
