The document provides a comprehensive overview of Mobile Device Management (MDM) including its definition, functionality, and comparison with Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM). It outlines what MDM can manage, such as mobile phones, tablets, and IoT devices, as well as the lifecycle management process and deployment methods (cloud-hosted vs. on-premise). It concludes with guidance on selecting the best MDM solution based on organizational needs and goals.

- 3. What is mobile device management (MDM)? Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the approach used by companies to remotely monitor, manage, and secure devices of all kinds, including (but not limited to) mobile devices. MDM can manage more than mobile devices. You can use MDM technology to manage smartphones, tablets, desktops, and almost any other technology (also called an endpoint). This is why the term unified endpoint management (UEM) is more accurate.
- 4. MDM vs. EMM vs. UEM MDM, EMM and UEM are the three most common terms you will see when researching MDM solutions. It’s essential to understand that these terms have evolved over time. The term mobile device management came first, followed by enterprise mobility management, and finally unified endpoint management. Monitor, manage, control, and secure workplace mobile devices MDM Same as MDM, plus: Managing mobile applications and content separately from the host device. EMM UEM Same as EMM, plus: Client management (laptop and computers). In practice, refers to managing any kind of business device you might find in an office - tablets, computers, IoT devices, and more.
- 5. What Can an MDM Solution Manage? Mobile phones: classic cell phones, and modern smartphones. Tablets: standard tablets and rugged tablets. Computers: desktop and laptop computers. Wearables: smartwatches and rugged wearable computers Rugged Devices Virtual Reality (VR) Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): sensor-based devices, industrial routers, etc Non-Traditional Endpoints: printers, scanners, and battery cradles, etc

Mobile Device Management Mobile Application Management Mobile Content Management Mobile Identity Management Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Non-Traditional Endpoint Support Although several categories include “mobile” in their names, they apply to both mobile devices and computers.
- 7. Device Lifecycle Management Enroll Provision Deploy Manage Retire Enrollment: Bringing newly-acquired devices into your business network. Provisioning: Setting up initial configuration, security settings, apps, and content for employees and users to get started. Deployment: Getting provisioned devices in workers’ hands. Management: Monitoring devices for compliance, pushing app updates, and troubleshooting application and performance issues. Retirement: Removing devices from the system once they reach end-of-life (EOL).
- 8. Types of Deployment Methods When setting up an MDM solution, firms must choose between two deployment methods. Cloud-Hosted MDM Solution On-Premise MDM Solution In an on-premise deployment, an MDM solution provider leases its software for use on a client’s own servers. This means that the client is now fully responsible for maintaining and protecting the MDM architecture - with all the challenges that creates. In a cloud-hosted MDM solution deployment, the provider who runs the MDM solution hosts data on external platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- 9. Identify your overall goal(s). Understand what endpoints you need to manage. Determine your budget and personnel. Choose whether to use company- or employee-owned devices (or both) Choose whether to deploy an MDM solution on-premise or via cloud. Assign roles and responsibilities. Consider your unique needs.
