Simplify With An Enterprise Mobility Solution

By Dianne Crane


These are times when in order to stay competitive and on top of the game, a company must be willing to grow with the changing technology. Advancements in communication options are advancing so quickly that it is making it possible to conduct business in an instant from most anywhere. An enterprise mobility solution is a very effective way to manage mobile access to corporate operations.

Times were when all company business was conducted in the office, on secured network desktop computers. However, with the induction of the digital age, employees are now able to do a lot of their corporate activities via various mobile and wireless devices. This freedom began to create several financial and security nightmares for administrators.

The internet is so easily accessed through many laptops, tablets and smartphones with wireless connection capabilities, so everyday thousands of people are checking and responding to business emails via their personal devices. There is no need to go all the way back to the office to handle that last minute issue when it can be taken care of from anywhere. The problem with this convenience is the risk to security it may pose.

In a world where an important business deal may hinge on a split second decision, having a mobile workforce could be an incredible advantage. There is much to be said for having the ability to contact any number of employees or co-workers instantaneously regardless of where they may be. This can be especially helpful when investors, customers or suppliers are waiting on answers.

A company may decide to set up their own secured network for mobile users to access for work purposes, however, this can become very expensive having to deal with several different service providers for employee's personal devices. The individual data plan reimbursements for all involved could quickly make the effort ineffective cost-wise. Going through so many carriers also poses a lack of control for the administrators of the program.

Enterprise mobility management solutions offer several different ways for companies to support their mobile workforce without compromising security. Tailor made applications can be designed to fit the individual needs of the business as well as any specialized security concerns they may have. Applications can be created that will give the employees access to the information and files stored on the secured network via logins and passwords.

Additional security protocols may be put in place that will allow them access to files and programs loaded onto the secured server from their mobile devices. Should it become necessary, the controllers will be able to rescind an user's sign in information almost instantaneously. As protection against breaches when these appliances are lost or stolen, fail safes can be worked into the program that will permit administrators to wipe all pertinent information from the handheld.

Companies wishing to expand their reach, whether it be locally, nationally or globally, an enterprise mobility solution may be the perfect way to boost communication and productivity. Business can be conducted quickly and easily from most any wireless device anywhere in the world. An additional advantage is that the programs are individualized to each client to ensure that their needs and security concerns are properly addressed.
