Several organizations has introduced the concept of “bring your own device” (BYOD), in order to achieve more efficiency and improved productivity. This increase in use of mobile devices, although providing benefits to the organizations, is also resulting in more effort for the information technology (IT) staff to provide support and manage these devices within the enterprise. Several organizations around the globe are implementing mobile device management (MDM) / enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions to manage mobile devices within the organization.
