Survey Finds Enterprise Mobility Management Lowers Cost, Improves Security and Supports More Devices
Best-in-Class Companies Leveraging Mobility Management to Control Mobile Chaos and Reduce TCO up to 78%. Zenprise, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise mobile management and device management software, announced findings from a research report conducted by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS - News), titled “Enterprise Mobility Management: Optimizing the Full Mobile Lifecycle.” More than 200 companies worldwide were surveyed for the report, which found top performing organizations (“Best-in-Class”) are deploying Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions to lower total cost of ownership (TCO), enforce compliance to company policy and governance issues and secure the mobile edge of the network.
“Enterprise Mobility Management has emerged as the essential tool top performing organizations use to take control of the full mobility lifecycle of their mobile ecosystem,” said Andrew Borg, senior research analyst for wireless and mobility, Aberdeen. Aberdeen distinguished the respondents as Best-in-Class, Industry Average and Laggard organizations.
+ EMM impacts the bottom line—By leveraging EMM, TCO per mobile employee in a Best-in-Class company averaged $189, 23 percent lower than the Industry Average
+ Best-in-Class organizations mobilize 84 percent of their employees—an increase of 22 percent over the last 12 months.
+ EMM reduces number of lost/stolen devices
+ Diversity and complexity of mobile platforms is exploding
+ 70 percent of Best-in-Class organizations developed a detailed inventory of all devices including employee owned
+ Remote control management capabilities contribute to competitive advantage
The Aberdeen survey also found that Best-in-Class organizations leveraged EMM capabilities to ensure that end user devices are properly authenticated before accessing company network and data.
