Kaseya Delivers New Integrated Mobile Device Management Solution

Kaseya^®, the leading global provider of automated IT systems management software, today announced the new Kaseya Mobile Device Management module, uniquely positioned to quickly and easily assist organizations in addressing the proliferation of the bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) trend invading the corporate network. The Kaseya Mobile Device Management module is part of an integrated and automated IT System Management (ITSM) solution that handles the inherent mobile device challenges of email configuration, back-up, asset visibility, and security for IT professionals in corporate or managed service environments.

The sweeping popularity of Apple’s iPad and iPhone, as well as the Android smart phone, has blurred the lines between personal and corporate devices in organizations globally. Today, employees want one smart phone device that handles both their work and personal email accounts, with access into corporate applications. Additionally, IT professionals have also noticed recent changes in how corporate executives engage in their work; with most preferring to leave their corporate-issued laptops in the office in favor of traveling with their personal Apple iPad as their only work device.

“Businesses are only beginning to experience the impacts of workforce mobilization on improving productivity and are only starting to experience the challenges associated with managing mobile devices,” says Steve Brasen, managing research director for Enterprise Management Associates. “By delivering an integrated platform for managing both traditional computing endpoints and heterogeneous mobile devices, Kaseya has taken a big leap forward in enabling a consolidated, end-to-end management experience that directly addresses emerging mobile technology requirements.”

Faced with the dynamic and varied mobile landscape, CTOs and CIOs are tasked with the need to keep data secure, support costs down and employees’ productivity up. In their review of mobile device management point solutions, many IT Professionals now realize the limitations of point solutions or manual procedures in handling all the security and support challenges in a distinct and separate environment versus a unified and integrated ITSM approach for ease of use in full device management.

“As a technology solution provider focused on client security and compliance, the need to secure clients’ work in mobile environments is essential,” said Jacob K. Braun, president of Waka Digital Media Corporation. “We’re excited to see the mobile device management solution from Kaseya that enables granular configuration of our clients’ mobile resources and empowers our staff to manage the health and security of both traditional and mobile endpoints from a single pane of glass. We’re reducing client risk and simultaneously improving our services efficiency with a single tool – and it easily integrates with the solution portfolio our clients know and expect.”
