Overview of IBM MaaS360 Benefits
Here are some of the benefits commonly associated to using IBM MaaS360:
Effortless Device Management
MaaS360 confers uncomplicated device management to a company’s IT department. With the software, all the devices can be monitored from one place and overseen remotely from the air. And because of this MDM, small to large businesses can support BYOD, allowing their employees to work on any device they want. This raise their productivity, as they are able to perform tasks on devices they are most familiar with without compromising security.
Rapid App Deployment
With MaaS360, companies are able to manage applications with the use of an interactive catalog. Through it, they can encourage the use of selected apps, dispense those among users, and update them when needed.
In addition, the solution’s container app ensures that corporate data are encrypted and kept separate from other apps. This way, IT only manages the contents of that folder without impinging on an employee’s privacy. This saves valuable resources and also builds trust between employees and the IT department.
Secure Content Collaboration
MaaS360 offers employees a platform for work collaboration that contains all relevant documents for work. In it, they are able to edit documents with ease while maintaining their preexisting formatting.
Though MaaS360 affords users this ability, companies can rest assured that this does not compromise data. The solution allows controls with regard to this feature to be set up, so that employees can only perform tasks that are within the scope of their authorization.
Furthermore, MaaS360 also links with a device’s calendar. This way, colleagues can set up meetings and even chat with them in-real time. This increases employee productivity and allows them to collaborate easily collaborate with each other.
Secure MDM Solution
With MaaS360, companies need not worry about their data being compromised. The software has a secure container separate from other device applications that employees can use when conducting their work. It also comes with a threat detector that immediately alerts IT in case of malware or device infiltration.
