Mobile Device Management Overview

Managing Mobile Devices & ApplicationsWill Demand New Approaches

More responsibility for devices and services

Less responsibility for devices and services Use approaches and architectures where it's

not necessary to take corporate responsibility, e.g., "bring your own" IT

Users need autonomy to create new processes and deliverables on any device they choose

Users want device choice and have undemanding application requirements (e.g., mobile e-mail + Web)

IT must guarantee service levels, metrics security and support, and cost; a high level of control is essential
