The concept of enterprise mobility has gained new traction with the organizations embracing the BYOD phenomenon and the utilization of enterprise applications to facilitate work outside the office as well. However, these manifestations of mobile workforce and workplace call for empowering and enabling the organizational IT and security staff for end-to-end management of mobile security. It is the age of the machines, or rather smart, mobile devices and at the forefront are the Android and iOS-powered devices. This widespread usage of mobile devices has further heralded the emergence of a highly connected environment – at the workplace, at home and even on the move.

Smartphones and the easy connectivity to the web are two of the major components driving the enterprise mobility sector. However, the challenge here is that most of the organizations do not possess the requisite skills and infrastructure to develop or implement large-scale mobility solutions. At most instances it so happens that an organization has the vision and even the implementation details charted out, but what they lack is the expertise for its effective execution. A quick consultation with the in-house technical team can segregate the challenges from the capabilities, allowing them to be delegated as in-house or outsourced projects. Enterprise mobility solutions rank in favor of iOS devices as they offer built-in support for smoothly integrating enterprise technologies, so collaboration with an iOS app development company is quite feasible.

Engineering a fully functional and feature-rich mobile application is not the only solution to enterprise mobility. Securing both the device and the data shared through it is an equally crucial aspect. For protecting enterprise mobile applications along with their data from any vulnerability, gaining enhanced visibility across all devices or push patches, the right mobile development (MDM) solution has to be short-listed. A consultation with an iOS app development company can yield fruitful results in determining as well as formulating a solution to enhance enterprise mobile security that aims to increase ROIs and to implement a cost-effective business model.

For organizations to maximize productivity and optimize enterprise data security, it is essential that the existing environment is connected and the implementation of a complete mobile security strategy is in place. At stages like this, data-driven insights have a crucial role to play to determine what works best for both the organization as well as their mobile workforce. The insights offered by big data analytics solutions can empower enterprises to identify streams and patterns in their enterprise data that are vulnerable or prone to threats. Although there is a huge buzz around the application of big data analytics solutions, only 27% enterprises ranked it as one of their top 3 priorities.

The fuss surrounding successful implementing big data analytics seems to have worn off, to some extent, for small as well as large-scale businesses. With the availability of numerous open source and enterprise-grade analytics tools and technologies, the significance of analytics is no longer lost on even the small to mid-sized enterprises.
