MDM: How to Develop and Implement Policies to Manage and Secure Mobile Devices

Christopher Hueneke, Director of Consulting, Network Data Systems

Mobility isn't a new technology for many companies especially in the retail or distribution industry, but is now a critical trend that is plaguing most CIO's in any industry. With the growth of tablet sales predicted to reach around 200 million units by 2014, CIO's are concerned that they could potentially lose control of the IT environment with every senior executive bringing in a new device that they received as a gift from their spouse and demanding that they have access to the critical business information anywhere, anytime and anyway. Many questions will arise in terms of “do we allow users to bring your own (BYO) devices”, “do we lock applications down”, “what do we do when the device is lost or stolen,” etc.

This session will focus on guiding IT leaders on balancing the considerations required to effectively and efficiently manage the mobile device throughout its full lifecycle. A well-balanced mobility management program starts with:

  • establishing a solid foundation by understanding the business user requirements;
  • dentifying necessary security and compliance requirements;
  • establishing the corporate mobility policies, guidelines, processes, and procedures;
  • determining the approach for managing the mobile device (e.g. complete device, application and data management, or just data management).

The critical success factors of the enterprise mobility program are implementing a right-sized mobility management platform that is able to control costs, mitigate risks, and reduce help desk calls while preserving the mobile device as a valuable efficient tool for the business.
