Summary

To implement your enterprise mobile strategy, IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals must invest in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. This essential technology allows I&O professionals to support multiple platforms and form factors, extend management and security policies to both corporate-liable and employee-owned devices, and automate service desk support.
