"Mobile Device Management" or MDM is an umbrella term for technologies that allow an administrator to remotely manage mobile devices. MDM is also referred to as over-the-air (OTA) management as communications can be delivered via Wi-Fi or cellular connections.
Alternative Name For MDM
“Enterprise Mobility Management" or EMM is a term coined by Gartner and today is often used interchangeably for MDM. Gartner felt this term was more appropriate as, over time, management of more than just the mobile “device” itself became possible...including application and data management.
There is no shortage of device management solutions, many of which claim to support every available computer and mobile platform and OS. But this can raise concerns about the provider's focus, application development resources, support resources, adoption time of vendors' new capabilities & ability to execute just to name a few.
Bottom line: How "expert" can any multi-vendor solution be on any given vendor's products?
BFA Technologies, Inc. strongly believes in a "Best of Breed" philosophy. We are closely partnered with the only device management company who is 100% focused solely on Apple: Jamf Inc.
