Opportunities that Mobility Create

•  Make your team more productive and better serve your clients

Apps

2003: Mobility as a Hybrid Device

•  In 2003, Blackberry devices were introduced with physical keyboards

•  COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled)

•  Consumers had the ability to text message and e-mail from a mobile device for the first time

2007: The BYOD Revolution

•  In 2007, Apple introduced the first iPhone

•  One-to-two function apps were launched

•  Changed the way we viewed software—lighter, quicker and gets out of the way when you’re done with it

The Implementation of MDM

•  The introduction of Android devices saw the beginning of different operating systems

•  Unpredictable landscape for mobile device security

•  Corporate IT departments responded with implementing MDM to secure corporate data

The Shift Away from MDM

•  Forward thinking IT departments began to move away from MDM and towards EMM in the late 2000’s

•  Management of data and apps began on corporate back ends, rather than on the user’s device

The Shift Towards Managing Apps

•  By implementing apps, organizations provide new opportunities for maximizing operational excellence and modernizing business processes
