One of the most appealing aspects of iOS devices, such as the iPad and the iPhone, is the fact that they are easy and intuitive to use. Due to their flexibility and portability, it is becoming clear that they can be used in an unexpected variety of scenarios. As organizations discover the expanding uses of iOS devices on a large scale, there are often varying levels of understanding about the management options available to IT administrators.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is commonly perceived as a comprehensive solution for managing mobile devices, but in reality there are additional steps to consider when managing iOS devices. While mobile device management can address many of the ongoing tasks in the lifecycle of an iOS device, there are a variety of setup and management activities that require either manual interaction by an IT administrator or automation that is beyond the scope of MDM solutions.
We will take a look at three workflows that could be applied to many challenges organizations encounter in this emerging space. As significant portions of these workflows are not possible with mobile device management solutions, these example cases explore a more rounded approach to automating iOS management.
The seminar is intended for anyone interested in learning more about the emerging space of iOS management.
