Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is a comprehensive approach to managing mobile devices within a company. It includes Mobile Device Management (MDM), which focuses on device management, security, and monitoring. In other words, MDM is a component of EMM. EMM also offers additional features such as Mobile Application Management (MAM), Mobile Information Management (MIM), and Mobile Content Management (MCM).

EMM/MDM is key to ensuring the security and integrity of company data on mobile devices. With the growing prevalence of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and reliance on mobile technologies, companies need to ensure the protection of sensitive data and observance of compliance guidelines while boosting employee productivity.

EMM enables companies to securely deliver applications and content, giving employees mobile access to necessary resources. It promotes flexibility by allowing employees to work from anywhere, while ensuring that devices and data are secure. This increases overall productivity and efficiency. Combined with a compatible strategy, such as BYOD or an employee choice program, employees can use their favorite device platform, helping to boost their motivation.

No, EMM is relevant for companies of all sizes. Smaller companies often have fewer IT resources, but can still be the target of attacks or experience a data breach. The EMM solution enables the efficient management of mobile resources and security risk mitigation, whatever the size of company.

PLUS:

EMM solutions can also help to accelerate employee productivity as device configurations are provided centrally and the employee simply has to focus on using the device. IT effort can be minimized as changes can be distributed centrally or, if necessary, enabled on the device.

Yes, the way the EMM solutions interact with the device platform enables business and private data to be kept separate. This ensures that company data is protected, while still allowing employees to use their devices freely without invading their privacy.
