Mobile Device Management in Office 365

Reduce Issues with Mobile Device Management

Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets that are used to access work email, calendar, contacts, and documents play a large role in making sure that employees get their work done anytime, from anywhere. But the growing number and variety of BYOD and corporate-owned mobile devices being used in companies today means that maintaining corporate data security is a growing challenge for IT teams.

Fortunately, Microsoft solutions are available to help reduce this complexity by offering mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) – both on-premises and in the cloud – all from a single point of control.
