At TechOrchard, we understand how important it is for organizations to take a holistic approach to enterprise mobility management (EMM) and, more specifically, mobile device management (MDM). As you plan to leverage the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops to increase employee efficiently regardless of location, various aspects of a comprehensive mobile strategy must be thought through and addressed. A key first step is to evaluate your Mobile Device Usage Policies (MDUP). Before your company can take the technical steps needed to secure these devices and the data they can access in the enterprise, MDUP must be written to describe not only the responsibilities of the end users, but also the commitment of your organization to the privacy of your end users.
The folks at AirWatch by VMware recognize the importance of being transparent about what their product can and can’t (or won’t) do, the information it collects or doesn’t collect, and the impact that EMM platforms have on the level of adoption of an enterprise mobility plan. As a result, VMware has established a public web site defining its EMM mission and dedication to user privacy for businesses and their mobility users. The website’s goal is to provide visitors with a clear understanding of AirWatch and how it can help users be more productive, while also answering questions about EMM and personal privacy.
Available at WhatIsAirWatch.com, this site takes on a question-and-answer format to help users get a clear picture of what the platform and AirWatch’s Work Apps can do, not unlike what your Help Desk might use to develop AirWatch FAQ support documentation. The site also features explainer videos and brilliant visuals to give viewers an in-depth look at the platform and how it functions. Overall, the site does a fantastic job of answering these questions:
- What is AirWatch?
- What does AirWatch do for me?
- What about my privacy?
Visit the site to learn more. Or, contact us at sales@techorchard.com or 913.685.1475 for a complete demo of all AirWatch has to offer. We would be glad to help you review your MDUP and formulate a comprehensive mobile strategy anchored by EMM tailored to your organization’s needs.
