Not having a plan for implementing EMM causes:

  • Siloed management of mobility within the organization, resulting in wasted resources.
  • Improper selection of a vendor for short and long-term sustainability.
  • Lack of adoption by end users, rendering EMM useless.
  • An inefficient help desk when dealing with mobile issues.

Having a well thought-out plan for implementing EMM results in:

  • A consolidated mobile management strategy that covers all aspects of your mobile landscape.
  • Proper selection of an EMM vendor that suits the current and future needs of your organization.
  • Proper IT and help desk training to ensure optimal use of EMM.
  • Increased end-user adoption and acceptance of new mobile policies.
