Enterprise mobility management is software that enables businesses to enable the secure usage of mobile devices and applications by employees. IT teams can easily provide employees with the data and applications necessary to perform work-related tasks on mobile devices, which can lead to improved productivity as a result of reduced IT workloads.
A core component of EMM, mobile device management is software that enables IT staff to secure, control and enforce mobility policies on devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and other endpoints, simultaneously protecting the corporate network while also optimizing the functionality and security of mobile devices,
Endpoint software, called an MDM agent in conjunction with an MDM server which live in a data center (either on-prem or in cloud) is the foundation of mobile device management. After configuring policies through the MDM server’s management console, the server pushes and applies those policies to the MDM agent on the mobile device by communicating with APIs that have been built directly into the device’s operating system.

The procurement, deployment and management of mobile devices and apps as well as PC software and services that connect out-of-office employees to the enterprise environment is called managed mobility services (MMS). Not to be confused with mobile workforce management (MWM), which is focused primarily on providing software, services and devices to field-based personnel like utility employees, MMS focuses on connecting mobile out-of-office employees to other employees, databased and servers.
Companies that provide managed mobility services are referred to as MMSPs (managed mobility service providers) enable remote employees to access resources that previously had only be accessible by PC users (e.g. business email, databases and other corporate content) and ease the burden on enterprise IT teams by managing the complex multiple device platforms.
In order to enable employee mobility, businesses are being pushed to offer reliable, flexible and up-to-date communication opportunities within their environment. The costs of these services continue to grow exponentially, and many organizations don’t have the bandwidth or strategies in place in order to optimize these expenditures and optimize the company’s overall usage.
Mobile expense management is a component of mobile device management (MDM), and mobile expense management applies to conventional cell phones, smartphones, tablets, and like devices. A mobile expense management system, which is powered by specialized software, allows organizations to manage their mobile communications costs. Ideally, a MEM system delivers continual (and real-time) usage and cost data for various departments, individual users, and the employees as a whole.
