What are Managed Mobility Services?

Managed Mobility Services, or MMS, simplifies the management of your organization’s mobile devices to increase efficiency, cost-effectiveness, security, and insight across the entire mobile device lifecycle. From procurement and provisioning to security and support, MMS providers like Dataprise, streamline and optimize mobile device use within organizations.

The Connection Between MMS and Cybersecurity

The question then arises: “How do Managed Mobility Services contribute to a robust cybersecurity policy?” Here’s how:

Enhanced Security

MMS providers prioritize security above all else. They offer comprehensive protection against cyber threats through advanced security measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and remote wipe capabilities. In the event of a security breach, these measures ensure minimal damage and maximum recovery speed.

Regular Updates

One of the most significant factors contributing to cyber-attacks is outdated software. With MMS, the devices your employees rely on for work are always up to date with the latest patches and updates, reducing vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

Compliance Management

Maintaining compliance with industry regulations is a critical aspect of cybersecurity. MMS providers help businesses stay compliant by continuously monitoring and reporting on device usage and security measures in line with specific regulatory standards.

Employee Training

No cybersecurity policy is complete without a well-informed workforce. MMS providers offer comprehensive training programs to educate employees about potential threats and safe online practices, thereby minimizing human error – a leading cause of security breaches.

Managed Mobility Services play an integral role in enhancing your cybersecurity policy. These two services go hand in hand to provide: a multi-layered security approach, ensure software is always updated, manage compliance, and train your workforce.

It is time you considered implementing Managed Mobility Services in your organization? Make the move today and fortify your cybersecurity policy. Remember, in 2023, security is not just an option – it is a necessity. Keep learning about MMS through our expert guide!

What are Managed Mobility Services?

Managed Mobility Services encompass a range of solutions designed to simplify the deployment, management, and support of mobile devices and applications within an organization. These services typically include device procurement, configuration, security, management, and support, as well as application development, deployment, and maintenance. By partnering with an MMS provider like Dataprise, powered by Wireless Watchdogs premier offerings, businesses can offload the complex task of managing their mobile ecosystem, allowing them to focus on their core operations.

Key Benefits of Managed Mobility Services

Streamlined Device Management

One of the most significant advantages of MMS is the ability to streamline the entire lifecycle of mobile devices, from procurement and configuration to ongoing management and support. MMS providers often leverage advanced tools and platforms to automate and centralize device management tasks, such as enrolling new devices, pushing software updates, and troubleshooting issues. Not only does this save time and resources, but it also ensures consistent policies and configurations across all devices, reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies.

Enhanced Security

With the increasing use of mobile devices in the workplace comes a heightened risk of data breaches and other security threats. Managed Mobility Services providers help organizations implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance with industry regulations. This includes securing devices with encryption and strong authentication, monitoring for potential threats, and enforcing policies to prevent unauthorized access. With Dataprise’s premier offerings powered by Wireless Watchdogs, businesses can rest assured that their mobile ecosystem is secure and compliant.

Improved Productivity

Managed Mobility Services providers can help organizations optimize the use of mobile devices and applications to drive productivity gains. This may involve developing custom apps tailored to specific business needs or deploying off-the-shelf solutions to enhance collaboration, communication, and task management. Furthermore, MMS providers often provide end-user support services, ensuring that employees have access to the assistance they need to troubleshoot issues and make the most of their mobile tools.

Cost Savings

By outsourcing mobility management to a specialized provider, businesses can benefit from economies of scale and expertise, resulting in cost savings. MMS providers can often negotiate better pricing on devices and plans, thanks to their relationships with manufacturers and carriers. Additionally, by leveraging their expertise and best practices, MMS providers can help organizations avoid costly mistakes and inefficiencies, such as overprovisioning devices or failing to optimize application usage.

Choosing the Right Managed Mobility Services Provider

When selecting an MMS provider, organizations should consider factors such as the provider’s experience, range of services, and ability to support the specific devices and platforms used within the organization. It is also essential to evaluate the provider’s security capabilities and compliance with industry standards and regulations. Our mobility team offers complimentary environment assessments designed to be no-hassle, while painting the cost-savings picture.

That’s where wireless expense management comes in and provides employers with cost savings and employees with cutting-edge technology. In this blog article, let’s dive into what wireless expense management is and why your organization should consider outsourcing it.

Wireless Expense Management is the process of managing an organization’s carrier rate plans as well as mobile and wireless devices. Let’s face it – efficiently managing rate plans and mobile devices is a burden for organizations, for 3 reasons:

1. Often, carriers do not have the organization’s best interests in mind.
2. Employees are using their personal devices for work. These devices are not as secure as corporate-issued and monitored devices and can be a security threat if not managed properly.
3. Carrier Plans can change every year or every other year, so monitoring these plans can be time-consuming.

Proactively managing rate plans is absolutely crucial for keeping wireless expenses down, but there are more areas that an organization can optimize when it comes to its mobile environment. Mobile device implementation in the workplace was designed to allow companies and employees more flexibility and increased efficiency. But now, mobile devices are creating extra overhead and costs for organizations. Here are some aspects that are part of a successful wireless expense management implementation:

• Optimize Organization’s Mobile Expenses – Done with comprehensive data and plan comparisons.
• Outsource Time-Consuming Admin Work – Done with invoices and contract management, inventory management, order and provisioning, and reporting.
• Visualize and Control Your Entire Device ecosystem – Done by including bills, usage, devices, and carriers all in one portal.
• Enforce Company Policies – Done with detailed data, usage restrictions, and device management.
• Avoid the Hassles – Managing multiple carriers and or multiple contracts is time-consuming and not the best use of your team’s time.

Wireless expense management is a fit for companies of all sizes. For small to midmarket organizations, oftentimes there is only one or just a couple of dedicated IT employees. Those IT employees often do not have the bandwidth to fully manage the organization’s mobile environment and help ensure costs are optimized, and focused on cost spending, so inefficiencies and expenses go under the radar. By working with an organization like Dataprise that provides managed mobility services (MMS), they can augment your current staff and negotiate with carriers on contracts to make sure your team is getting the most out of the services provided.

Enterprise organizations tend to have many unused devices tied to their carrier plan and rates. By utilizing usage data to help you identify areas of cost-savings, your MMS provider can deliver the information your IT and Finance department need to collaborate and adjust your annual budget.

Budgeting is a major part of any organization’s plan for the future. As more laptops, mobile devices, tablets, and other wireless devices are introduced into your IT environment, it is crucial for organizations to ensure that not only are these devices secure, but they are cost-effective.

Dataprise is proud to offer a complimentary analysis of your environment to help determine where your organization can cut costs. If you are interested in learning more about wireless expense management and mobile device management as a whole, please feel free to download our guidebook here.
