A mobile device management solution provides similar features that you would expect a systems management solution would use to manage PCs. However, mobile devices are not network-connected in the same manner as PCs, so a solution for mobile device management must rethink communications.

The basic components of a mobile device management solution would consist of a server and an agent which would communicate with each other in order to complete commands and tasks.

At the device level, restrictions should be available as part of the feature set so that lost or stolen devices can be handled effectively.

What should you consider when choosing a mobile device management solution?

How will you use mobile devices within the work environment in the near term and in the future? Will you allow personal devices to be used, only provide company-issued devices to access company data, or have a mixture of both?
