AT&T Expands Mobile Device Management for Small Biz By Barry Levine August 23, 2012 10:49AM     Mobile device management such as that provided by AT&T in its solutions for small business is a fast-growing category, since the center of computing and communications has moved to mobile devices. Complicating the move to mobile for IT departments, however, is the growing trend of "bring your own device." AT&T seeks to address that.   Related Topics AT&T Mobile Device Management Unified Communications Small Business BYOD Latest News iPhone Takes a Hit in Satisfaction Dell Kills Its In-House Public Cloud After 360, There Comes the Xbox One A Terabyte's the Limit Now at Flickr Customers Less Satisfied with Win 8 (Page 2 of 2) BYOD Trend If it was in a stronger market position, Research In Motion could be a dominant player in this field, given its base among businesses. Late last year, the Canadian company introduced its next-generation enterprise management platform -- designed not only for the management of BlackBerry devices, data and apps , but also for iOS and Android devices. Analyst Laura DiDio noted that her firm, Information Technology Intelligence Consulting, recently released a survey about the BYOD trend. It polled 550 companies worldwide this summer, and found that 62 percent now allow their employees to use their own devices for work -- including desktops as well as mobile devices. She said the MDM market would continue to grow, as the top three challenges cited by BYOD companies were difficulty of management and support, provisioning new applications and security. DiDio also pointed out that, while small businesses use mobile devices about as much as larger businesses, they are much more dependent on mobile communications and apps to run their businesses. < Previous Page  |  1  |  2   Tell Us What You Think Comment: Name: Also Visit: iPad Info Center Billions of Bytes Mobile Device Now Apple Info Center TopTechWire.com CommVault is a data and information management software company dedicated to providing organizations worldwide with a radically better way to manage data and information.
