Configuring devices across different mobile platforms can be time-consuming and complex. Mobile Device Management (MDM) now provides a unified interface for this purpose. A modular system of combinable profile components enables cross-platform device setup, taking into account the specific features of each platform and device type.

With the EMM solution, apps, as well as certificates and settings, can be easily deployed to mobile devices. Sources include the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and the integrated Mobile Agent kiosk. Rolling out a company-wide configuration is also possible.

In addition to hardware, operating system version, IMEI, network data, security settings, SIM information, installed apps, and other details can be collected. In line with data privacy, user data such as contacts, calendar entries, call logs, emails, etc., are not inventoried. As a product from a German manufacturer, Mobile Device Management (MDM) complies with applicable EU data protection standards.

With the Enterprise Mobility Manager, you set the complexity and minimum length of passwords and define unwanted apps (app block- and allow-listing). You can enforce restrictions on App Store or camera usage. Compliance with custom security rules and policies is monitored through the Compliance Dashboard, where you can also detect operating system modifications (“Jailbreak”/“Root”).

Just as easily as you enroll a tablet or smartphone into your IT, you can securely wipe all data at the end of its lifecycle and remove the device from your infrastructure. Employees who forget their PIN can have their devices unlocked in just a few clicks. Stolen or lost smartphones are no longer a disaster — you can remotely wipe them. Replacement devices are automatically provisioned with the correct profiles and policies.

Additionally, you can:

• Set password complexity and minimum length

• Define unwanted apps (app block- and allow-listing)

• Apply restrictions on App Store or camera usage

• Monitor compliance with custom security rules, policies, or detect operating system modifications (“Jailbreak”/“Root”)

Separate work and personal life: Both user profiles exist cleanly separated side by side, yet are only a swipe apart. The work profile is clearly labeled, encrypted, and can optionally be protected with its own password. This prevents accidental profile switching and unauthorized access if the device is lost.

Native separation in iOS User Enrollment ensures that apps from one profile cannot access data from the other, preventing sensitive customer information from appearing in personal apps like WhatsApp. Conversely, users can be confident that administrators only have access to the corporate profile, and, via Mobile Device Management (MDM), can modify or delete only company data.

The separation also extends to individual app access rights: Using per-app VPN, access to corporate data over the VPN tunnel is restricted to approved apps. This ensures that sensitive information is not shared with third parties.

MDM stands for Mobile Device Management and refers to the centralized management of mobile endpoints such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. MDM software ensures devices are operated securely, consistently, and in compliance — whether in the office or on the go.

MDM software handles the configuration, management, and security of mobile devices. This includes app deployment, policy setup, location tracking, remote wipe, and the separation of personal and corporate data.

An MDM tool saves time and enhances security. It enables automated device management, protects sensitive data, supports compliance, and provides clear oversight — especially when managing many mobile devices.

Mobile devices are now an integral part of modern IT workplaces. Without MDM, you lose control, opening the door to data loss, security gaps, and IT chaos. MDM ensures clear structure and protection at all levels.

MDM focuses on mobile devices. UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) goes a step further, managing desktops, servers, and IoT devices—all in one platform. MDM is often a subset of UEM.

Yes, many MDM solutions support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). Corporate and personal data can be kept separate, for example using container technologies, ensuring data privacy without restricting personal use.
