1.1.1 Product benefits
With JP1/ITDM2 - SDM, you can understand the current status of smart devices, ensure compliance with smart device usage guidelines, prevent information leakage if a device is stolen or lost, and distribute applications. JP1/ITDM2 - SDM also provides integrated management of IT assets.
The smart device administrator must manage all smart devices in a manner appropriate for the business goals of the organization. The administrator must also prevent users from using smart devices for non-business purposes, and take preventive measures against leakage of business information from smart devices.
JP1/ITDM2 - SDM supports unified management of smart devices based on the following points:
-
Understanding the current status of smart devices
-
Ensuring compliance with smart device usage guidelines
-
Preventing information leakage if a smart device is stolen or lost
-
Distributing applications to smart devices
-
Integrated management of IT assets
- Understanding the current status of smart devices
-
Increasing use of smart devices in the organization makes it difficult to know where (and by whom) devices are being used. JP1/ITDM2 - SDM displays a list of smart devices owned by the organization, enabling the administrator to easily understand smart device information. For example, the administrator can easily identify available devices and quickly distribute them as required.
- Ensuring compliance with smart device usage guidelines
-
The smart device administrator must discourage use of smart devices for non-business purposes. JP1/ITDM2 - SDM applies security rules to smart devices in order to notify the administrator of a violation of rules, and to restrict a specific smart device function. For example, allowed phone numbers, Web sites, and applications can be defined in a security policy. If that security policy is applied to smart devices, any use of a disallowed phone number, Web site, or application will be reported to the administrator. In addition, use of smart device cameras can be prohibited if such functionality is not necessary for business purposes.
- Preventing information leakage if a smart device is stolen or lost
-
JP1/ITDM2 - SDM can remotely lock or initialize a lost or stolen device to prevent unauthorized use or information leakage by a third party.
- Distributing applications to smart devices
-
JP1/ITDM2 - SDM provides unified management of applications used for in-company business, and allows for simultaneous distribution of business applications to smart devices. This allows users in the organization to use the same applications, and simplifies the distribution process.
- Integrated management of IT assets
-
Smart device information in JP1/ITDM2 - SDM can be viewed and manipulated from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2. This allows the administrator to manage smart devices in the same way as other IT assets (such as PCs and server devices), by simply using JP1/IT Desktop Management 2.
