What’s the Key to Simplifying Device Management?

With employees working from the office, home, or the field—and the ever-increasing use cases for mobile technology—organizations are managing more devices than ever. Each type may have its own operating system, policies, and security requirements. Keeping all these endpoints secure, up-to-date, and functioning smoothly is a huge challenge for IT teams—especially since many technology solutions were deployed with independent mobile device management systems.

According to research done by Stratix, it’s common for companies to be juggling between two and four MDMs, and some have more than six! The solution is unified endpoint management, which consolidates all those platforms into one console for holistic control and seamless user experiences.

Why Traditional Device Management Falls Short

Legacy management tools were designed for a simpler era. Today’s environment is far more complex:

• Teams use multiple devices across laptops, smartphones, tablets, and wearables
• Devices are spread across remote, hybrid, and field locations
• IoT and rugged devices have become essential in industries like logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing

Without a UEM approach, IT teams are left switching between multiple consoles, manually applying updates, and reacting to security threats rather than preventing them. This is where Unified Endpoint Management comes in.

What is Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)?

UEM is a modern approach to managing all of an organization’s endpoints from a single, centralized platform. Instead of juggling multiple tools for laptops, mobile devices, and IoT, IT teams can handle everything in one place — from provisioning new devices to deploying apps, enforcing security policies, and monitoring device performance.

The benefits of UEM include:

• Better visibility: IT teams can see all endpoints in real time
• Improved security: Policies and updates can be applied consistently across every device.
• Simplified workflows: Automation reduces manual IT tasks, freeing staff to focus on strategic initiatives.
• Consistent user experience: Employees can access the tools and data they need without friction

In short, UEM transforms endpoint management from a reactive, fragmented process into a proactive, streamlined operation.
