Enterprise Mobility Strategy

What is Ultima’s Enterprise Mobility Strategy Service?This service seeks to assist you by laying the foundations for your mobility journey through a proven four-stage methodology

With this drive towards new ways of working, the concept of a ‘workplace’ is changing; it is no longer confined to desktop PC’s in an office. To be productive, employees are now expecting to be able to access services needed to perform their work from a multitude of endpoint form factors and locations. As business technology and consumer technology continue to merge, a tech-savvy workforce will find ways of working with mobile technologies whether it has been sanctioned by IT or not – essentially introducing “Shadow IT”. Rather than hinder and stifle their use, IT departments should embrace these consumer devices and new ways of working, providing the fine balance between security and flexibility. By having a well-defined mobile strategy, IT can enable the appropriate technologies to meet the needs of the business now and into the future.

Why do you need an Enterprise Mobility Strategy? Many enterprise infrastructures have changed organically over recent years and have been influenced by culture change including; employee mobility, international business travel, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), as well as purchasing and support models. This is changing the way the business requires IT services to be delivered.

Enterprise Mobility Management can be divided up into three conceptual blocks; Mobile Device Management (MDM), Mobile Application Management (MAM), and Mobile Content Management (MCM). Each of these addresses a specific level of mobility management and enables a tailored solution to match the requirements of your users and IT policies. Although these blocks can be applied in isolation, implementing these together provides a holistic Enterprise Mobility Management solution. The strategy will consider key requirements including existing investments, skills, projects and budgets. We will make recommendations such as, expanding existing, or implementing new, technologies.

Ultima’s Modern WorkSpace Practice can assist your organisation in enabling the right technologies to meet your mobility requirements.

Review Each of the Enterprise Mobility Management components will be analysed against the requirements for your organisation to formulate a tailored solutions matrix which forms the basis of the mobile strategy report. This output will be used to select the most appropriate set of technologies to satisfy your end user requirements.

Define A key objective of the strategy engagement is to review your existing environment and provide a new optimised and integrated strategy encompassing the core components of Enterprise Mobility Management. The report will describe the current business requirements, outline options available and make recommendations based on these.

Present Ultima will present the strategy back to the business in a structured workshop, and field questions against each of the sections within the report.
