The use of MDM solutions in various industries across the globe can not be over-emphasized, these industries make good use of MDM solutions to maximize the productivity and efficiency of their employees.
Some of these industries are retail, medical/healthcare, manufacturing and service industry, engineering and construction industry, transportation industry, and education.
Retail
Managing retail devices remotely is required from a legal and efficiency perspective. Growing data protection regulations mean that all retail devices must be properly secured and that certain data is encrypted. Likewise, apps running on these devices need to be kept up to date.
Healthcare
With the emergence of Covid 19 pandemic, the majority of healthcare businesses are transitioning to the use of electronic health records (EHRs), and mobile device use in the industry is more common than ever. However, guaranteeing the security of PHI held on mobile devices while still adhering to strict regulatory standards such as H-I-P-A-A can be difficult. An MDM solution can assist you in meeting regulatory requirements while also keeping PHI safe from unwanted access.
Manufacturing and service industry
Organizations in the manufacturing industry are currently deploying and using BYOD policy in their day-to-day activity as they are adhering to Covid rules and regulations. They have also been able to cut down costs incurred in the maintenance of equipment and manpower.
Engineering and construction industry
With the aid of MDM solutions, the purchase of materials and equipment, logistics, and reaching the target audience has become a lot cheaper to acquire. Also, with the BYOD policy employees can be taken through training from the comfort of their homes.
Transportation and logistics industry
This sector benefits substantially from the enormous advantages of MDM solutions. They can now monitor shipments and vehicles as well as keep records of their travel history. They can also restrict corporate devices to specific apps and/or settings to prevent device misuse and maximize productivity.
Education sector
In 2020, the education sector depended solely on IT solutions to connect teachers and students. Here, too, centralized solutions are already in use. In the future, this sector will expand. In the last two years alone, the number of virtual meetings, classes, lectures, conferences, etc. has increased massively.
