A sophisticated online device management service has been set up by Vodafone to aid global businesses who need to fully understand, manage and control the mobile devices they have, including smartphones and tablets.

Vodafone Device Manager is a cost effective solution that enables a company’s IT department to remotely manage mobile devices over the air; audit device contents; keep the device up-to-date; install new applications or remove unwanted programmes; configure email accounts; lock the device remotely and erase all user data if it is lost or stolen; and secure devices with local password protection and data encryption on the device.

Additionally, Vodafone Device Manager enables organisations to gain visibility and control of, and secure, any smart device and the data on them, regardless of their operating system or whether they’re owned by the organisation or the employee directly.

The main advantage of using Vodafone Device Manager is that the system gives a company complete control over its device fleet. This helps reduce the cost and complexity of managing their mobile devices, whilst monitoring them 24/7.

Furthermore, it allows users to install software and applications remotely within minutes anywhere in the world; query devices over the air and effectively diagnose and resolve issues; and ensure all devices are totally secure and that only the latest software and applications are used.

A text message is sent to the mobile device to download the client software. After the download is complete, the company gains 100% control of the device and has secure online access to the Device Manager portal where it can view, interrogate and remotely control each of its mobile devices.

If an employee experiences issues with their mobile device, Device Manager enables the company to query the device over the air and effectively diagnose and resolve issues. In addition, if a mobile device containing confidential information is misplaced, it can be remotely locked anywhere in the world at any time of the day. If the device is lost, the contents can be completely erased.
