MAM and MDM software: Reseller tips

What's driving your customers' mobility management upgrades or purchases? About half the survey respondents -- 52% -- indicated that their organizations were in need of MDM technology to support multiple mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android and Windows Phone, or to support migration from legacy BlackBerry devices and/or infrastructure. As mobility continues to become more strategic to IT organizations, this popular driver is not surprising. To provide its mobile users with flexibility, organizations must use a mobility platform allowing for the support, optimization and management of a broad range of handheld devices.

Other top drivers behind respondents' enterprise mobility management upgrade or purchase: support for personal devices, at 36% -- which was greater than the need for support of corporate-owned devices, at 24%; support for mobile app management, at 30%; and improved integration with other enterprise applications and/or management platforms, at 24%.
