Expand Through 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.

There used to be a time when all companies required their employees to do any business related activities, including checking email, on the secured desktop computers in the office. Now, nearly any mobile wireless device can gain access to the internet and any unsecured networks. The ability to conduct operations outside corporate walls brought many security issues to the forefront.

Easy access to the internet via wireless mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets has made it very easy for people to check emails and send sensitive documents to co-workers. With no requirements to sign in to secured networks and limit the programs that work could be done on, doing business from one of these appliances was very convenient. However, the security risks posed by this freedom were numerous.

This is a competitive world and companies need to be able conduct business at a moment's notice. There is a convenience and many advantages to being able to communicate instantly with a mobile workforce. This makes it easier for employees to be able to contact managers, suppliers, customers when questions need answers or decisions must be made quickly.

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.

Mobility management solutions can be tailored to the needs of the individual corporation and provide them with the means to control their entire mobile workforce while maintaining a hold on security. Through the use of specialized applications, all programs and files can be housed on a secured network that can only be accessed through password and login combinations. This can permit the company to keep all work confined to a safe place.

Since mobile devices are notorious for lacking security, corporations may choose to have additional security steps required before granting a user entrance to the files. Administrators would need no more than a couple of minutes to either grant additional permissions, or to deny access to any employee. They may also choose to have safeties installed that will allow them to remotely remove all company information from an device that has been reported as lost, stolen or compromised.

If the goal of the company is to expand their potential and increase their productivity, utilizing an enterprise mobility solution to control their mobile workforce could be the right option. Having global access to all business information and files could be important when quick decisions are crucial. A management program can be designed specifically for the individual requirement for the client.
