Protect Your Company’s Devices With Mobile Device Management
Everyone’s seen the cliché of the absent-minded person in a hurry leaving their cup of coffee or briefcase on top of the car and driving away, leaving the coffee or paperwork to spill onto the street behind them. This happened recently – only instead of a spilled cappuccino, they left their iPad.
Christina (name has been changed to protect the guilty) could not remember where the device was lost, and by the time she was able to retrace her steps, it was pitch dark and starting to rain.
Fortunately, her company has Mobile Device Management (MDM) on all their company-owned devices. Using CTTS’s MDM software, we were able to pinpoint the device’s location, lock it, and send a message to the screen.
That very evening, CTTS received a call from a
nice lady saying that she had located the device. Christina was able to recover it from the Good Samaritan, and CTTS was able to get the cracked screen replaced so they are in business again. Had the device been lost for good, CTTS would be able to issue a remote wipe command to the device, preventing the data from being accessible.
More and more, cell phones and tablets are becoming an essential part of doing business, especially with a mobile workforce. We use our phones and tablets to store client and vendor information, send and receive emails, and even work remotely using cloud file share or virtual desktop technology. These devices are pricey as well. What if one of those devices got into the hands of a competitor or a hacker with malicious intent? Could your business survive the breach?
With a Mobile Device Management plan and a mobile device policy in place, you don’t have to worry. Your device can be located on a map, a noise can be made if it’s mislaid, it can have your company data wiped or all the data wiped. We can install required applications or remove those we installed, configure your company email, and send messages or documents to the devices. We can even reset the pass-code if you forgot it. With that level of manageability and control, your data and device are safe from any mishap.
Contact CTTS today at (512) 388-5559 to discuss your business’s mobile device management needs. We will come up with a plan that works for you, your devices, and your employees.
