How to Scale Unified Endpoint Management

As organizations increasingly rely on mobile technology solutions, managing endpoints at scale becomes more complex. Laptops, smartphones, tablets, rugged devices, and IoT endpoints must all be provisioned, secured, updated, and monitored—across multiple locations and operating systems. While companies are moving from multiple mobile device management systems to holistic unified endpoint management, there are still challenges. Without the right strategy, IT teams can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to security gaps, downtime, and frustrated employees.

Why Scaling UEM is Challenging

Because of the growing complexity and number of mobile technology solutions, scaling Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) is rarely straightforward, even for organizations that already use it. Challenges include:

• Device Diversity: Supporting a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to IoT sensors, each with different OS and update requirements.
• Security and Compliance: Enforcing consistent policies and meeting regulatory requirements across thousands of endpoints.
• Provisioning and Onboarding: Rolling out new devices to distributed teams quickly without overloading IT staff.
• Monitoring and Maintenance: Keeping devices updated, secure, and functional in real time, especially across multiple sites.

Traditional approaches often leave IT teams reacting to issues rather than proactively managing endpoints, making scalability difficult.

Workspace ONE: Built to Scale

Workspace ONE is built from the ground up to handle large, complex, and distributed environments. Its cloud-native architecture allows IT teams to manage thousands of endpoints without investing in on-prem infrastructure or juggling multiple consoles. The platform supports a wide range of devices, including mobile, desktop, rugged, and IoT devices, ensuring that as organizations add new device types, they can be integrated seamlessly into a single management framework.

Key design elements that enable scalability include:

• Zero-Touch Provisioning: Devices can be shipped directly to users fully configured, eliminating manual setup and allowing IT teams to onboard hundreds or thousands of endpoints simultaneously
• Multi-Tenant Architecture: IT administrators can apply policies at different organizational levels, inheriting or overriding settings as needed, which is essential for large organizations with multiple departments or subsidiaries
• Automation and Orchestration: Repetitive tasks like patching, app deployment, and compliance checks can be automated, reducing manual workload while maintaining consistency across all devices
• Real-Time Monitoring and Analytics: IT teams gain a centralized view of device health, usage, and security status, allowing proactive issue resolution even at scale
• Flexible Deployment Options: Being cloud-native, Workspace ONE can easily expand to new regions, offices, or remote teams without additional infrastructure or complexity

These features collectively allow organizations to grow their endpoint ecosystem without overwhelming IT, maintain robust security, and provide a consistent experience for every user, regardless of location or device type.

Real-World Impact: ARS/Rescue Rooter Case Study

ARS/Rescue Rooter, with over 5,000 technicians and 8,500 devices nationwide, faced challenges managing device onboarding, application deployment, and IT support. Many devices were overloaded with unnecessary apps, the help desk was stretched thin, and there was no formal process for provisioning new devices efficiently.

By partnering with Stratix for a Workspace ONE Health Check, ARS streamlined device management and workflows. Technicians now receive devices pre-configured with only the applications they need, improving efficiency and reducing onboarding time. This collaboration demonstrates how Workspace ONE with Stratix can simplify large-scale UEM, enhance security, and improve user experience across a distributed workforce.
