How the MDM system relieves the burden on the IT department and reduces operating costs

Managing a company's fleet of mobile devices can be time-consuming and costly. Especially when everything is done manually: configuring new phones, installing apps, troubleshooting technical problems or locking lost devices. An MDM (Mobile Device Management) system allows you to automate these processes and really ease the burden on your IT department. The result? Less stress, less operational work and noticeable savings.

The MDM system allows you to remotely manage your company's mobile devices, whether they are smartphones, tablets, terminals or other Android devices. It allows you to from one place:

• configure devices according to the company standard,
• update applications and operating systems,
• implement security policies (e.g. locks, encryption),
• locate, lock or clear devices,
• restrict access to selected functions or sites,

This type of tool is useful for any company that uses mobile equipment: whether in the logistics and transportation industry, field sales or service.

Task automation = more time for IT team

Without an MDM system, every employee onboarding involves manual configuration of equipment. This is time-consuming and error-prone. In a model with MDM, all you have to do is assign a device to a specific user profile, and the rest happens automatically.

The hardware downloads the required applications, settings and security without the administrator's involvement. Hence MDM in logistics is particularly popular.

Updates, device resets or deploying changes are equally fast. Everything happens remotely, without the need for physical contact with the device. This gives the IT team dozens of hours per month to devote to strategic tasks rather than constantly "putting out fires."

Without MDM, every change on a device requires human action. And that means the risk of bugs, outdated applications and security vulnerabilities. MDM brings consistency - every device runs in the same environment, with the same applications and security policies.

If an employee loses a phone or leaves the company - an administrator can remotely wipe data or block access in seconds. This is crucial not only from an operational standpoint, but also for regulatory compliance, such as RODO or NIS2.

Less costs, more efficiency

Implementing an MDM system is not only about convenience, but above all about real savings. You gain:

• fewer calls to the IT department,
• quicker deployment of new employees,
• lower risk of failures and downtime,
• improved security of company data,
• greater control over how equipment is used,

According to a Forrester report, an MDM implementation can yield a return on investment (ROI) of 184% in three years. And that's already an argument that's hard to pass by.

If you manage more than a few mobile devices and you care about their security and efficient operation - it's a good time to look into implementing an MDM system. It will help you organize your processes, ease the burden on your IT team and provide your company with greater operational resilience.

You don't need to invest in new hardware or change your entire infrastructure. All you need is a good MDM platform - one that gives you flexibility, security and simple operation.

Save time and money

More and more companies are choosing to implement an MDM system just when the number of devices is starting to get out of control and the IT department can't keep up with the day-to-day operations. That's the moment to look at tools that automate management and bring order where there was chaos before.
