Device Management For Windows Mobile

What do you know about the mobile devices connecting to your network? What data are they accessing or processing? Where are they? Are they on? Are they configured properly? Are they healthy? Can you quickly and easily push out software updates and necessary files?

Mobile devices are now mission-critical – whether it is an employee’s smart phone, a point of sale (POS) device, or medical equipment like a “computer on wheels” (COW) - IT organizations must now find a way to cost effectively manage and secure these devices. That means bringing them in to existing operational processes to achieve visibility and control without adding new management tools, infrastructure, or employees.
