New devices, platforms, applications, and technologies connecting to the network are overwhelming IT’s ability to manage devices and software across the enterprise environment. The crisis has come to a head with more employees working remotely, often full time. IT now must be able to manage both corporate-owned and personally owned devices used to access network resources, email, and applications.
Many organizations struggle with separate endpoint and mobile device management systems that complicate their endpoint environments. While some employ consolidated management consoles, they often still rely on disparate processes to manage desktop and mobile devices.
