In a survey of IT managers, nearly half are either planning to outsource mobile management or have already done so.
A CIO at one company told surveyors why he would outsource mobile management:
“Mobile Ops are completely different from keeping servers up and running,” the CIO says. “If it were just app support, we could probably handle it…”
With the assistance of an outsourced mobile management program, the CIO is finally getting insight on company spending on mobility and how employees use their devices, giving the ability to monitor costs and support incidents.
As mobility and BYOD progress in the office, companies cannot rely solely on their IT department for management and data security.
However, the responsibility does not only fall on company policies, employees or CIOs. Fortunately, OEMs are beginning to step up to place security where it should have been all along: on the mobile devices. No longer will mobile management be such a burden, but rather a team effort by OEMs, CIOs and mobile asset managers.
