Enterprise Mobility Management
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) describes a holistic approach and corresponding complex software solutions , so-called EMM Suites , for the management of mobile devices in companies.
EMM Suites form the central management platform to operate mobile devices in companies safely and economically and to integrate them into the company infrastructure. To this end, they combine the classic, originally separate solutions for mobile device management (MDM - secure management of mobile devices based on company guidelines), mobile application management (MAM - company-specific management of all permitted apps ), mobile content management (MCM - access management) from mobile devices and apps to company resources such as cloud services , mail servers , file servers and SharePoint ) and other aspects of operating mobile devices under one roof and a homogeneous user interface.
Mobile devices primarily include smartphones and tablets , whereby EMM can handle both a company's own fleet of standard devices and a heterogeneous landscape of private devices (keyword BYOD ). But Windows- based desktop computers can also be managed with EMM systems.
The EMM suite itself can be operated on a server in the company ( on premises ), in a cloud or in a mixed form of both ( hybrid ).
providers
According to Gartner , the leading EMM solutions in 2017 were VMWare ( Airwatch ), MobileIron , Blackberry and IBM ( MaaS ).

UEM unify solutions on.
