Mobile devices are very powerful nowadays, even more so than laptops. As a result, many employees prefer to use their smartphones and other mobile devices to complete tasks on the go. But this rise in popularity of mobile devices comes with an increased security risk. And since mobile devices are so small, it’s easier to lose them\u2014and the data they contain. Microsoft\u2019s Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is the solution to all these problems. The cloud-based program promotes mobility while ensuring security, allowing administrators to easily manage accounts, change passwords, and monitor data.<\/p>\n

Managing and protecting users, applications, and data<\/h2>\n

EMS gives you control and flexibility in managing all applications on mobile devices. As employees use smartphones most of the time, managing consistent, secure access with single sign-on is imperative. This ensures that your employees’ productivity is not hindered, and they can still access all their applications. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not all users need access to all the applications, though. Administrators can enable access to specific applications for certain users. And to top things off, it is currently integrated with 2500 of the most famous SaaS apps, giving users a wide selection to choose from.<\/p>\n

EMS promotes self-service<\/h2>\n

EMS allows employees to be grouped into teams, which in turn allows IT departments to assign specific applications to whole groups. For example, if someone joins the sales department and needs access to the applications the team uses, with the permission of group admins, they\u2019ll have instant access.<\/p>\n

With EMS, employees can also change their passwords and perform numerous other tasks that previously required IT help. Reducing the number of people that need to be involved with simple tasks streamlines processes.<\/p>\n
