This appendix describes the DME Basic Mobile Device Management client – in the following called the Basic MDM client.
In many organizations, the users of mobile devices can divided into three groups:
Some users need to have a continually updated copy of their corporate e-mail and calendar in their pocket. Such users need the full DME client on their devices - the number of features available can be controlled through the license file.
Other users do not require advanced DME features on their mobile devices. However, the DME administrator wants to be able to manage the devices and monitor how they are used. Such users need the Basic MDM client on their devices.
Yet other users have another system for e-mail synchronization installed on their devices. The system administrators want to be able to manage the devices and monitor data consumption etc. Such users also need the Basic MDM client on their devices.
The Basic MDM client is an economical way to add more mobile assets to the portfolio of devices that can be managed by DME. Apart from keeping track of your assets, you can track voice and data usage, block applications on the devices, transfer files to the devices (option), wipe the device in case of theft or loss, and provision software to the client. Furthermore, it is easy to upgrade to the full DME client for e-mail and PIM synchronization features.
