Vendor Landscape: Enterprise Mobility Management

Mobile device management has grown up. Get a grip on devices, applications, and content with the right enterprise mobility management suite.

  • Mobile device management (MDM) is no longer enough. Organizations need to manage not only devices, but applications, data, and more. Enter EMM.
  • EMM has become powerful enough to deliver comprehensive management capabilities, but sifting through features and differentiating between vendors is a time-consuming process.
  • Mobile capabilities advance quicker than a tech-savvy cheetah, making vendor choices more complex with each passing month.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Choose an EMM vendor that will meet today’s needs and improve quickly enough to meet the needs of tomorrow.
  • Keep an eye on the ultimate goal of accessing company resources from any device and any location, using EMM as one tool to accomplish it. Top vendors are moving beyond managing mobile platforms, and becoming all-in-one tools for managing and enhancing endpoints of all types.
  • It is a race. As capabilities of endpoints increase, EMM vendors are in a competition to catch up with technology and surpass each other. Don’t get stuck with a vendor that struggles to keep up.

Impact and Result

  • Shortlist top EMM vendors and their products based on required features, budget, and vendor viability.
  • Save time and money by using Info-Tech’s vendor landscape to cut through the wide range of basic and advanced features that EMM now offers.
  • Determine which EMM suites are most appropriate for your particular use cases.
