Mobile devices have recently matured to highly sophisticated equipment capable of facilitating operational business processes, various communication schemes and accessibility of information everywhere.
Such usage requires utilization of the full capabilities of those devices through the use of specialized applications and solutions with the objective of operational streamlining and collaboration between enterprise personnel.
These devices have enormous variety of communications capabilities. It is very important that only secured protocols be implemented and they should be within acceptable security models.
Regulations for mobile devices utilization recommend that all communication protocols should go through centralized mobile device manager system (MDM) for applications deployment, control, support and maintenance. Only devices that can integrate with such system are permitted to operate and connect with the enterprise network.
