Easy Control of Every Device from Deployment to Retirement

imprint — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 13:23:56 +0000

That fleet of mobile devices is not going to manage itself. There isn’t a way around all the provisioning, updating, securing, repairing (etc.) that comes with business mobility. But there is a way to streamline the efforts in maintaining your fleet and to quickly access all the information you need to have broader visibility and control. With SOTI MobiControl (the leading software in Mobile Device Management) you’ll have access to all the information you need in one single pane of glass.

Plus, with SOTI MobiControl you’ll have a comprehensive suite of features that allows you control over your devices throughout the entirety of their lifecycle – from deployment to retirement and everything in between.

FROM RAPID DEPLOYMENT TO RETIREMENT

SOTI MobiControl can speed up deployment and decrease provisioning costs of your mobile devices with the ability to provision devices remotely, using profile and packages based on user role or geographic location. There is also the SOTI Self-Service Portal which allows employee-initiated enrollment. Additionally, using SOTI Stage or other third-party solutions (such as Apple DEP or Zebra StageNow, among others) can also simplify deployment.

On the other side of the device’s lifecycle – retirement – you can wipe a device if it’s lost or stolen, removing any company data once an employee resigns or is terminated. Once the device has been retired, you can recoup the app licenses or re-provision the device for another user or another part of a business.

DEVICE AND DATA SECURITY

A variety of features keep confidential company information protected, including but not limited to the following: IT administrators can control exactly what can/cannot be installed which prevents rogue applications and malware. There are authentication and password features, as well as encryption, that protects devices and keeps company content secure. You can set alert rules which automate device actions and notifications when a device is non-compliant.

Deploying certificates and configuring VPNs secures communication. Restriction features like USB mass storage, camera or screen capture are also available to keep information private. And out-of-contact policies means a device will be secured or wiped automatically when the device hasn’t contacted SOTI MobiControl within a pre-defined period.

APPLICATION AND CONTENT MANAGEMENT

In a similar vein – there are content management features to help distribute (and, also prevent unauthorized disclosure of) sensitive or corporate content. SOTI Surf, as an example, secures the web browser by allowing whitelisting or blacklisting websites; restricting web browsing while on cellular or roaming; and preventing screen capture. SOTI Hub secures access to company files located within the network or cloud; syncs files from devices back to network drives; and prevents sharing and printing of files.

IT staff can set data leakage prevention (DLP) rules and use LDAP integration to control who sees what file and websites and what they can do with them on that device. For application management – there are features to secure and distribute corporate apps. Tight integrations with Apple VPP and Google Play deliver the right application to the right employee and device. IT staff can use blacklist/whitelist controls to identify what corporate apps are available and can also wipe/remove enterprise apps if a device is non-compliant, lost, or if an employee leaves.

SOTI MobiControl gives you easy control of every device from deployment to retirement.

No more wasted time digging for information not readily accessible. It’s all available in a single pane of glass. No more struggling to maintain every single device from provisioning to replacement. SOTI MobiControl streamlines all those efforts, all those processes, with its comprehensive suite of features. With this MDM software you’ll have broader visibility and better control of your mobile fleet. Want to learn more about SOTI MobiControl? Contact us.

What Mobile Device Management Is and Can Do for You

imprint — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 20:43:33 +0000

Your fleet just grew again by another x number of devices, pushing you beyond your bandwidth. All these devices have you overrun with activities – from repairs, to patches, to updates and more. There is no shortage of tasks required to maintain each of them which is just too much for you and/or your team to manage.

As a result, efficiency is decreasing and downtime is increasing because you can’t fix, patch, update, and repair the devices fast enough to keep them in optimal working condition.

You need broader and faster visibility across your entire fleet and the ability to work on each device more quickly once you pinpoint the errors and malfunctions.

It’s time to consider a Mobile Device Management (MDM) Software (like SOTI’s MobiControl) which will be a key piece to your mobility strategy as your fleet grows and with it the volume of your responsibilities.

An MDM software can provide you the information you need to more easily maintain and manage your mobile fleet from one place regardless of where you or the device is located.

WHAT EXACTLY IS MDM SOFTWARE AND WHAT’S IT MEAN FOR ME?

Again, MDM means Mobile Device Management. Sometimes it’s also referred to as EEM for Enterprise Mobility Management. In its simplest terms, it’s a program that allows you the oversight to manage all your mobile devices from one place. Taking it one step further, MDM software allows you to: provision devices faster and get them into the hands of the users; secure information; support customers and workers remotely; and customize and simplify the user experience on their devices. What that means for you is reduced costs and downtime, thus increased efficiency.

There are several MDM applications to choose from but our top choice and the one we can offer you is SOTI’s MobiControl. MobiControl is leading the industry in MDM solutions “for securing, supporting, and managing business-critical mobility and IoT device deployments.” MobiControl has the broadest device support – from laptops/PCs to AR headsets, and includes a wide range of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, single use devices, rugged devices). Plus, it’s brand agnostic meaning it works with any major operating system (Windows, Android, Apple.) MDM software is one giant step for you and a revolutionary leap for your device management.

WHAT INFORMATION CAN AN MDM SOFTWARE CAPTURE?

The information that is captured by your MDM system will be based on the software itself and its capabilities. What we know about SOTI’s MobiControl is that it collects nearly all the data on each device, including (but not limited to): properties, app usage, geolocation, cellular and voice data usage, deployment info, and search results. Of interest is the unique location-based info about each device – where is it; where has it been; how was it or is it being used.

Additionally, an administration console also gives you information such as hierarchical organization of devices by location, business unit, or IT function. Dynamic and configurable charts offer information about connection dates and times, manufacturer model, operating system (OS) version and more.

HOW EXACTLY DOES MDM SOFTWARE HELP ME MANAGE AND MAINTAIN MY DEVICES BETTER?

MDM systems such as SOTI’s MobiControl gives you the visibility and therefore control through the lifecycle of each device, beginning with rapid deployment and provisioning through to a device’s retirement. In between, you can remote into a device to triage the problem on the spot. You can push updates or patches when you know a device is not in use and make it ready to go for when it’s next needed. You can wipe it clean automatically if it goes beyond a determined geofence. You can review only those devices in geographic location and hide the rest, keeping your attention focused on just the fleet requiring your attention in that moment.

You can block off any non-business-related apps or functions to keep the devices dedicated to the job at-hand and prevent employees from using them for personal use. You can track your devices whereabouts and use as well as its needs (updates, repairs, and more). With this comprehensive overview of the fleet and the detailed visibility of each device, you can take care of multiple devices all at one time if/when needed, or simply focus on just those devices requiring your immediate response – all while keeping business moving.

You don’t need to struggle trying to manage every device individually.

With reputable MDM Software like SOTI’s MobiControl you can manage them all – together or individually- from one place.
