Your Challenge: - With the complexity of mobility increasing in most organizations, enterprise mobility management (EMM) is becoming necessary to manage devices, as well as all aspects of mobility. - While EMM might seem simple from the outside, it has many moving parts. It covers devices, applications, data, security, policies, financial management, and help desk management. - Without a detailed implementation plan to mitigate issues such as missing components, an unprepared IT department and help desk, and low end-user adoption, IT will find it difficult to ensure a successful launch. Our Advice: Critical Insight - Mobility within organizations continues to grow more complex, and requirements for managing mobility now extend far beyond the device itself. - As BYOD continues to grow and new products are released into the market, EMM will become a necessary tool for long-term sustainability and effective use of mobility. - Without a proper implementation plan in place, organizations will find it difficult to achieve a suitable, unified solution for short and long-term sustainability of mobile management. Impact and Result - Prepare the organization for mobility by developing an implementation plan that covers EMM from start to finish, including selecting a vendor, managing help desk changes, engaging users, and developing an actionable timeline. - Create a tailored solution for the unique needs of your organization.

1. 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.
Mobility management isn’t about devices any more—it’s about what devices do. EMM vendors are focusing on the management of applications and content, competing to innovate in a world where mobility is increasingly critical
and mature.
BlackBerry made smartphones into powerful tools for businesses, and pioneered the importance of central management of those devices. Later, consumer-focused smartphones and tablets also became powerful business tools, but
lacked central management. Early mobile device management (MDM) arose to add management capabilities across all mobile devices and platforms.
Trends like BYOD emphasized the need for mobility management by increasing the variety and complexity of mobile devices. However, do users really want their own devices controlled by IT?
It has become clear that MDM is not enough. No matter who owns the device, it contains a mix of personal and corporate applications, documents, and other data.
MDM vendors have evolved. They no longer only manage the devices, but the company applications that run on those devices, and the content within those applications. Enter the all-encompassing set of tools known as Enterprise
Mobility Management (EMM).
MDM is a feature, not a product:
In only a few years, mobile device management has gone from defining a market to a minor, non-differentiating feature among EMM suites. When choosing a vendor, focus on application management, content management, and
other advanced features, rather than basic MDM.
Pure-play vendors are in the minority:
EMM-only vendors are being acquired by vendors with broad product sets and deep pockets. The remaining pure-plays appear lower in our landscape in comparison with some of the largest vendors in tech, but their products are still
innovating rapidly in order to differentiate themselves.
EMM-style management is spreading:
Expect EMM to expand beyond mobile devices. After finding success with the power and flexibility of EMM, customers and vendors alike are racing toward a single management tool for mobile, Windows, OSX, and even the Internet
of Things.
