Mobile device management (MDM) allows organizations to securely manage mobile devices throughout their lifecycle, including deployment, security, monitoring, support, and retirement. MDM provides benefits such as supporting both company-owned and employee-owned devices, increasing security through enterprise integration, minimizing data loss by limiting access, and reducing IT costs by automating processes. MDM enables organizations to prove compliance with industry standards, securely deploy enterprise applications, and control access to sensitive documents.

1. 10 Benefits of Mobile Device
Management

2. Mobile device management (MDM) is an industry term for the administration of
mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.
MDM is usually implemented with the use of a third party product that has
management features for particular vendors of mobile devices.
What is Mobile Device
Management? (MDM)

3. 1. Manage the Entire Mobile Lifecycle
MDM allows you to
control and securely
manage all mobile
devices in your
organization throughout
the entire lifecycle,
including deploying,
securing, monitoring,
managing, supporting,
and retiring.

4. 2. Support Company and
Employee-Owned Devices
Regardless of whether devices are owned by the company or its
employees, IT organizations need the same visibility and control of
mobile devices connecting to the network and accessing sensitive
data. However, different policies need to be implemented for
personal devices.

5. By integrating MDM with other enterprise
systems, you can improve security. MDM
enables you to push consistent password
policies that mandate password use,
complexity requirements, changes, and
lockouts across all devices.
3. Increase Security with Enterprise
Integration

6. 4. Minimize Data Loss
Limit access to sensitive data based on user roles and the
compliance status of their devices. You can ensure only the
devices that have valid security certificates and the latest
antimalware software have access to the network.

7. 5. Prove Compliance with
Industry Standards
Many industries struggle with meeting regulatory
requirements—with MDM you not only comply with industry
rules, but you can also easily prove it.

8. 6. Increase the Scale of
Mobile Deployments
Without MDM, it would be impossible for companies
with more than a few employees to manage all of
their mobile devices. Managing hundreds of
different devices successfully, for hundreds of
employees throughout your organization just isn’t
possible without MDM.

9. 7. Manage Complexity Across
Locations and Groups
If you don’t have an MDM
solution, managing different
policies across multiple user
groups and geographies is a
nightmare. With MDM you can
easily apply the correct
policies to user devices,
based on defined criteria such
as their roles, group
memberships, and/or
geographic location, to name
a few examples.

10. 8. Reduce IT Costs by Automating
Processes
Many tasks which were previously manual can be automated. Things like
provisioning a new device and configuring standard settings can be done without
anyone taking time out of their day!

11. 9. Streamline Deployment of
Enterprise Apps
With a strong MDM
solution deploying
enterprise apps,
including custom-
developed apps and
approved external
apps, can be
automated. An
enterprise app catalog
can provide users with
easy self-service
access to the apps
they need.

12. 10. Secure Distribution and
Access to Sensitive Documents
Access to sensitive
documents can be
controlled, logged, and,
if necessary, revoked or
remotely erased. This
helps to eliminate
unauthorized access
and data loss if a device
is lost or stolen.
