Datapac: Karen O’Connor, general manager service delivery |
| The biggest challenge for Irish organisations, particularly small and medium sized businesses, is having the right skillset in-house to manage the ever-increasing volumes of mobile devices and data. There is also the added complexity of employees using personal devices for work purposes, both inside and outside the office.Businesses want to be able to offer their employees the tools to be as productive, flexible and mobile as possible, but this all comes with a growing security and compliance risk. It is therefore vital that businesses look to partner with accredited specialists like Datapac in the area of mobile device management so that they can safeguard their people, infrastructures and data.
When considering which mobile device management solution is most appropriate, it’s important that businesses think about both their requirements today and also allow for a level of flexibility for growth and change into the future. Your mobility plan will never be finished as you will constantly need to evolve as new devices and technologies are introduced. Our advice is to select a solution that can handle what you might like to do in the future along with what your immediate challenges are as adoption becomes more holistic. There are a range of solutions that can address the headache of mobility, however the key is to tailor the right solution to the organisation requirement rather than deploying a one-size-fits-all option. At Datapac, we work with our customers to tailor solutions that address security, data protection, infrastructure, application and administration requirements, and design strategies and solutions that are right for their organisations both now and into the future.

| Mobile peace of mind | |
| “It is important for companies to decide on both a client management tool set and also a mobile device management system. Having these tools based in the cloud, either private or public, not only allows companies the best flexibility, but also allows the workforce to work seamlessly while out of the office with different devices” |  Toshiba: Adam Diggins, solutions pre-sales tech marketing manager |
| A major challenge facing enterprise mobility today is how to manage mobile devices. Previously, IT departments had to worry about a single operating system and a single form factor. This has changed dramatically as we now have three prominent mobile OS (iOS, Android and Windows Mobile) to focus on and a mobile workforce that is more technically-savvy due to the rise of consumer technology usage.Having the right strategy in place is vital, as is understanding what exactly you want your mobile workforce to do. You can then decide on what management tool sets you need to help enable this strategy with security at the forefront. Allowing a workforce to use devices outside the company network brings many challenges and the costs of a data breach can be enormous.To help overcome this, it is important for companies to decide on both a client management tool set (CMT) and also a mobile device management system (MDM). Having these tools based in the cloud, either private or public, not only allows companies the best flexibility, but also allows the workforce to work seamlessly while out of the office with different devices while IT can maintain the right security policies to protect the company.
Toshiba’s Cloud Client Manager (TCCM) takes the cost and complication out of maintaining your assets so you can focus on your business and get the most out of your mobile workforce. TCCM offers patch management, asset inventory reports and power management giving you full peace of mind.
