Enterprise Mobility Management

In the past few years, more and more employees have been demanding to do work from iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. Back in days of BlackBerry, dealing with mobility was easy. However, these new devices aren't so easy to manage, and the tasks that employees are doing are far more advanced. In addition, now we also have to grapple with the trend of BYOD--personal devices in the workplace. The enterprise mobility management (EMM) industry has responded with technologies like mobile device management (MDM), mobile app management (MAM), mobile virtualization, app wrapping, "containerization," and mobile file syncing. Al this technology is new, and it's evolving rapidly. The stakes are high: Thanks to the consumerization of IT, if enterprise IT doesn't figure mobility, user will bring in their own phones and tablets and do whatever they want. "Enterprise Mobility Management: Everything you need to know about MDM, MAM, and BYOD" is your guide to figuring out how it all works.
