by Brianna Crandall — August 8, 2016 — As mobile devices continue to revolutionize the way we live and work, Dude Solutions, Inc., a cloud-based provider of operations management solutions, recently unveiled its Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Dude Solutions’ MDM offering helps information technology (IT) administrators better monitor, manage and support all mobile devices on their network, including the ability to simply and remotely manage device policies, supervise device usage, and control application distribution.
As Eric Zoetmulder, Dude Solutions’ vice president of Product Strategy, pointed out:
The mobile era has brought many productivity and efficiency gains into the workplace, but IT teams are rightfully concerned about the impact and vulnerability mobile devices present — especially in education, healthcare and government organizations, or any setting where there are privacy concerns. We developed our MDM solution to simplify the process of managing mobile devices no matter whether it is a personal device, corporate-issued device or part of a hybrid program.
Dude Solutions’ MDM solution enables IT administrators to centrally monitor, manage and support the volume and diversity of devices in use in the workplace today and keep those digital assets more secure. This includes multiple options for securely enrolling devices, supporting common governance policies (e.g., lock, reset, wipe, install) and automatically reviewing all enrolled devices for potential security risks.
With the ability to easily establish separate policies for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and corporate IT assets, Dude Solutions’ MDM offering empowers IT personnel to create, define, and manage groups of devices, apps, and profiles. At K-12 education institutions, for example, this includes simplifying compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act and other student protection policies. For healthcare organizations, this includes compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
Dude Solutions’ MDM solution is fully integrated with the iTunes App Store as well as Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP) and Device Enrollment Program (DEP). When tied in with Dude Solutions’ Insight application, MDM enables IT teams to automatically discover all IT assets connected to a network, as well as maintain access, oversight and control across their entire organizational technology infrastructure.
