The trend towards Bring-your-own-device(BYOD) presents an opportunity for IT to help increase user productivity and satisfaction. But this trend also brings numerous management and security challenges to IT organizations, which must see that enterprise infrastructure and corporate data are protected from malicious intent, while ensuring that these resources can be accessed in compliance with corporate policies regardless of device type or location.
An enterprise model that supports the use of consumer devices and cloud storage in the workplace and the ability to work from virtually anywhere and anytime must move from a device-centric view of IT management to one that’s people-centric.
Microsoft’s Enterprise Mobility Suite is a comprehensive cloud solution that supports the consumerization of IT and retains effective management, security, and compliance capabilities. It the most cost-effective way to acquire the included cloud services:
- Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Premium for Hybrid Identity management
