Mobile device management has never been more challenging for IT. With employees bringing their own devices (BYOD) or requesting a specific type, IT must support a long list of form factors and operating systems. More importantly, organizations are struggling to properly secure the corporate networks and data that are accessed by these devices.
Absolute Manage for Mobile Devices allows you to remotely manage the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices in your deployment. Now you can wirelessly (over 3G or Wi-Fi) configure, query, and even wipe or lock managed devices.
Absolute Manage for Mobile Devices is available stand-alone or as a component within Absolute Manage.
Apps Management
Track installed apps. Build device records using custom data fields. Publish a list of approved apps onto each device and provide a single-click download/install process for users. Silently install/remove apps using management APIs. Apps by Absolute provide you with a variety of apps so you can geographically track devices and perform security and administrative tasks from an iPad; manage in-house apps; and apply strict security controls for the sharing of files and media using the AbsoluteSafe app. Includes support for the Apple App Store Volume Purchase program.
Security, Change & Configuration Management
Set longer, more complex passwords for enterprise level security. Lock a device, clear a password, and wipe a device clean to factory settings. Manage and deploy profiles to configure email, restrict apps, set up VPN, disable the camera, and deploy web clips. Use policy-locked configuration profiles to stop non-compliant devices (jailbroken, blacklisted apps installed) from accessing company email and networks. Schedule policies so users have a defined window of time to access secured documents and corporate networks. Send customized messages and communicate with the end user wirelessly.
Asset Inventory
Gather hardware and software data points for analysis. Display data such as serial numbers, Mac addresses, installed apps, telephone numbers, and other data with custom views, searches, and reports. Integrate your mobile device data with third party applications such as Microsoft SCCM.
BYOD
Use the automated employee enrolment process to onboard employees and their personally owned devices, eliminating the manual IT work associated with BYOD programs. Record employee opt-in and direct a copy of each confirmation to Human Resources. Automatically assign BYOD-specific policies to ensure these devices only access corporate networks and data if they are compliant. Read the BYOD Policy Implementation Guide for best practices.
