As the role of mobile in business operations continues to grow, companies can expect more and more service to emerge, all offering the promise of better mobile experience. When it comes to mobile device management, vendors these days have started offering a long list of features for their solutions, making it extremely difficult for organizations to choose the partner for their needs.
Below, we discuss some tips for choosing the right mobile device management (MDM) partner for your business:
Pick the one that caters to your scale of operations. Working with big, established names is well and good, but organizations differ in scale of operations. Sometimes, said big names are not attuned to the needs of smaller companies, for example. It is important to select a partner that understands the particular demands of working in niche segments of the market, or with a smaller budget than most. Too, sometimes, the business may not need all the available modern features - just those that address their specific goals.
Choose a partner that is open to all scenarios. As aforementioned, every organization is different. As such, a mobile device management provider should be able to accommodate all kinds of scenarios: say, an organization that welcomes the use of the employees’ personal devices for conducting company tasks, under what is more popularly referred to as the Bring Your Own Device movement, or, a combination of both. If the company has offshore operations, the mobile device management solution should be able to facilitate seamless data exchange in the real-time, and within the most affordable rates, too.
Set up a counterpart team for MDM. It helps to create a team that will be the counterpart of the prospective or existing MDM vendor. Said team will take care of the selection, establishing the criteria, along with the screening process and the people who are allowed to make the decisions. Once a vendor is chosen, the team will be the one in charge of regular performance reviews.
