“We currently deal direct with EE and O2, as well as Elite, but we were keen to work with just one supplier to simplify things. Out of the companies we currently deal with, it made sense to make Elite our preferred supplier, because with them we get one dedicated account manager who will always get back to use about our queries very quickly. It also means we will be able to view all of our bills online in one place, making it much simpler to keep track of our spending.”

Mobile Device Management that Puts You in Control
With business no longer being tied to a physical premises, utilising mobile devices enables you to provide flexible working for your team and empower them to be productive from anywhere. However, with your team now taking your data on the go, you need a solution that keeps your business information secure. IBM MaaS360 is the mobile device management solution that allows you to manage the security of data stored and accessed on all devices within your business.

How Does Mobile Device Management Work?
MaaS360 protects your devices, apps and data, so you can provide more flexibility to your team by being able to scale your remote workforce and implement BYOD (bring your own device) initiatives, without compromising your data security.
The solution’s enterprise-grade threat defence can detect and automate corrections on your network and across your apps and devices, for threat-protection you can rely on. With MaaS360, deployment is quick and simple, so you can start protecting your data as soon as possible.
Why is Mobile Device Management so Important?
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is vital to enable your team to work flexibly without compromising your data security. MDM enables your business to manage all of your devices, regardless of the type or the operating system it uses, to prevent business-critical data that is stored within your mobile devices from being stolen, hacked into or lost.
An effective Mobile Device Management solution ensures all of your mobile devices are secure, whilst facilitating flexible working for your team.
Work Securely From Anywhere
With a secure container that holds all corporate files separate from the rest of the device’s applications employees can work securely without compromising data or device security while simplifying overall IT management.
A Mobile Device Management solution from Elite ensures your employees can collaborate securely and compliantly within a closely monitored environment.

MDM Business Benefits
Effortless Device Management
MaaS360 offers simple and remote device management from one place. It enables secure BYOD programs, raising productivity and empowering employees to perform tasks on devices they know without compromising security.
Rapid App Deployment
Applications can be managed via a container app that encrypts and manages corporate data without impinging on employee privacy.
Secure Collaboration
MaaS360 provides a collaboration platform on which to share and edit documents with controls so employees can only perform tasks within authorised areas. Employees can also set up meetings and chat via device calendars.
Secure MDM Solution
MaaS360 includes a secure container to keep other device applications separate when employees are working. It also comes with a threat detector that immediately alerts the business in the event of malware or device infiltration.
Automated Compliance
MaaS360 can enforce automated compliance rules on connected employee devices, taking actions you specify when rules are broken to further bolster security.
Mobile Device Management Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we need a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution?
Mobile has transformed how organisations do business. However, managing and protecting devices, apps and content that contain sensitive corporate data can present serious security challenges. An MDM solution simplifies the move to mobile by:
- Managing your entire mobile device fleet.
- Increasing productivity with secured emails, apps and content.
- Reducing security and compliance risks.
- Controlling your entire mobile IT environment.
What device and software versions are supported by MaaS360?
MaaS360 is compatible with:
- iOS 4.3+
- Android 2.2+
- Windows Phone 7.5+
- Blackberry 5.0+ and Amazon Fire OS devices.
MaaS360 Laptop Management supports:
- Microsoft Windows XP SP3
- Windows Vista
- Windows 7
- Windows 8/8.1+
- Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.5-10.10
Instant, same day support of the latest mobile OS platform releases and upgrades is included, as standard.
How do users authenticate and enrol their mobile devices with MaaS360?
MaaS360 administrators can send enrolment requests using SMS, email, or a custom URL. These are sent directly from the portal, preventing unauthorised devices from gaining access without approval. Approved users can authenticate by either entering the passcode provided in their enrolment email or entering the corporate credentials used to log into their computer.
Can we restrict access to corporate data when devices are lost, stolen or non-compliant?
Yes. You can remotely block lost or stolen devices until they are located. In more serious circumstances, you can change the passcode or conduct a selective or full wipe of the device to protect corporate data. Administrators can perform the same actions for non-compliant devices unless users take requested steps to amend their policy violations.
Does Elite or anyone else have the capability to access our email data?
No. While MaaS360 has a multi-tenant architecture, customer data is sandboxed with strong security walls so it is accessible only to the customer. The solution cannot store sensitive corporate data, such as emails, message exchanges, attachments, or app data.
Why would we need a Data Loss Prevention/container solution?
Boosting productivity and mitigating risk are top of mind for companies as they expand employee access to corporate email, apps, and documents from mobile devices they do not own. For BYOD programs, containers are an efficient way to provide a completely separate sandbox area for work and control the movement of data without needing to enrol personal devices in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. They preserve user privacy, drive user adoption and protect the organisation.
