Summary

Device Management refers to the process of monitoring, controlling, and securing single-purpose devices such as computers, servers, kiosks, mobile phones, and POS devices used by employees for work purposes. With the BYOD model, enterprises allow employees to use their personal devices for official work, but this leads to risks of data security and privacy issues. To address these concerns, enterprises are using dedicated devices that can be easily managed, updated, and controlled remotely. Device Management solutions help enterprises monitor device locations, apps used, WiFi connections, and system health, enabling remote debugging and troubleshooting without on-site visits. These solutions also provide app management capabilities, such as installing, uninstalling, or upgrading apps, and allow IT admins to control what apps are allowed to run on devices. With a Device Management solution in place, enterprises can resolve BYOD-related issues and ensure their devices are used efficiently and effectively for their intended purpose.
