The evolving mobile ecosystem
The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend has dramatically and fundamentally altered the work landscape.
Previously, companies could largely control all the work de- vices that employees used, by issuing desktops and laptops.
Cellphones were only used for voice calls and text messages.
But tablets and smartphones have changed this.
There has been a device explosion, creating massive diver- sity in devices and operating systems. With this has come an eruption of enterprise and consumer mobile applications.
The new world of mobile work
A quarter of all devices used for work are mobile devices.
More than half of all information workers use three or more devices for work.
Over 50% of these cellphones, smartphones, Netbooks and tablets are BYOD
Costly enterprise implications
BYOD poses significant device management, data control and security challenges for businesses. These challenges touch on
Application management
Application life cycle management threatens ROI, which is exacerbated by the vast number of mobile operating systems.
Telecoms expense management
It has become increasingly difficult to predict and control mobile device usage costs.
Security - data loss prevention
With so much company data spread across so many de- vices, data loss can become a severe threat, which can be costly to manage.
Governance
Existing compliance and management models need to be extended to coexist with mobility and devices that are es-

The business challenge through the eyes
of the CIO
BYOD offers immense productivity and mobility benefits.
The central challenge is not to attempt to stop it, but to take advantage and enable users by supporting the diverse de- vices and apps they choose to use.
Today’s company needs to use BYOD to improve em- ployee productivity and provide a secure mobile work environment, while controlling costs.
This means increasing efficiency by mobilising IT and au- tomating mobile management processes. IT administrators need a way to manage these mobile devices in conjunction with their overall IT security and management strategies.
Configuration, reporting and app distribution need to be automated. And protective measures must be in place to counter the security risks of users downloading and using apps without IT’s knowledge.
Enterprise mobility means:
• Efficiently manage devices and distribute apps
• Enable working from anywhere, anytime
• Increase productivity by enabling mobile enterprise access
• Save CAPEX by enabling BYOD
• Remove constraints on the use of innovative apps
There is an increasing need to move beyond a focus on device management to a focus on mobile apps and mobile content. IT needs to take control and work proactively with all business users to understand their needs and deliver apps that solve real business problems, enable productivity and generate revenue.
The CIO and IT department need an efficient, automated way of successfully managing all of this and mobilising the business.

EOH Mobile Device Management
EOH Mobile Device Management gives you full BYOD management and control using an on-premise or cloud-based solution. It’s simple and scalable, giving you everything you need to secure and manage mobile users, devices and apps.
The solution combines fl exibility and automation with granular control, allowing IT to execute a mobile strategy that meets the needs of your organisation. You can apply the exact level of device, data and app security you need for each user’s role in your business.

Usage analytics give you insight into the device and app usage of your workforce, which can be used to generate reports, and gain cost visibility and control. And you can control and predict telecom costs.
The EOH Mobile Device Management Self-service portal streamlines the device enrolling and provisioning process.
It also allows users to remotely lock and wipe lost devices or reset passwords.
You get full management control of mobile devices, while freeing your employees to be produc- tive wherever they are, whatever
devices they use.
