Managing your local network as well as remote workers is increasingly becoming the concern of a lot of organisations as more and more people begin to work from their laptops and smartphones.
Reliable delivery of information and the security of the physical devices are probably the two most important aspects that any organisation will have to contend with.
With the high incident of theft and loss of devices, wouldn't it be useful if your device just "knew" it had to delete any company data in its memory and lock the device if it has not made remote contact in X days with the office servers, where it had backed up all the data?
How about downloads of company information that get interrupted? Wouldn't it be nice if the download resumed from where it left off when you connect again?
What about technical support, updates to software, company forms and documents? Imagine if these were all done in the background without you having to come back into the office to perform all these tasks.
These are just three of the many senarios that many organisations are faced with and the great news is that you don't have to wait for it to be developed "in the future". All these solutions exist now and are ready for you to use.
