Our implementation timeline depends on the size and complexity of your AEC mobile environment. We'll provide a detailed rollout plan, and our team works efficiently to minimise disruptions and get your devices securely managed.

What is Enterprise Mobility Management?

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is how businesses manage mobile devices, apps, and data to support a mobile workforce while maintaining security and control. EMM systems typically include mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and mobile content management (MCM), which together provide comprehensive oversight for enterprise mobility.

What are the Three Primary Types of Enterprise Mobility Management?

The first type of enterprise mobility management is Mobile Device Management (MDM). This component involves overseeing and securing the deployment of mobile devices, enabling centralised control over operating systems, applications, and security settings.

For instance, Interscale’s MDM supports Windows, Android, and Apple devices commonly used in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

The second type is Mobile Application Management (MAM). The MAM focuses on controlling app usage on mobile devices within the corporate ecosystem, which is essential for handling field data in AEC operations.

With Interscale’s MAM solutions, companies can remotely manage app installations and updates, ensuring essential applications like BIM and design tools are up-to-date, secure, and configured for optimal performance.

The third type is Mobile Content Management (MCM), which controls access to and sharing of corporate data across mobile devices. MCM ensures only authorised users can access critical information in industries that depend on complex data handling, such as AEC.

Interscale’s EMM services include cloud-based solutions for secure file sharing and access management, with the added benefit of tracking data usage patterns, enabling better resource allocation and security control.

What is the Difference Between Enterprise Mobility Management and MDM?

Mobile Device Management (MDM) focuses on securing and controlling mobile devices through policies for device configuration, security, and app management. Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is broader, encompassing MDM while adding management for apps, content, and user access.

In short, MDM is device-centric, while EMM offers a more holistic approach to manage devices, applications, and access for mobile employees.

What is the Importance of EMM?

EMM helps businesses keep their data safe, manage all those different devices, and make sure their teams can work effectively wherever they are.

The Importance of EMM for Architecture

In architecture, enterprise mobility management software is essential due to the need for frequent site visits and collaboration among dispersed teams. By implementing EMM with features like MDM and MCM, architecture firms can streamline secure access to drawings and designs.

The Importance of EMM for Engineering

EMM enables consistent security across all devices, facilitating quick updates, access to specialised software, and reliable data backup systems for engineering. This enables engineering teams to reduce downtime by remotely managing updates and keeping project data synced in real-time across diverse locations.

The Importance of EMM for Construction

With EMM, construction companies can track device usage and status, enforce security measures, and monitor data access in real time. This integrated approach reduces risks from lost devices or unauthorised access and enhances the coordination between office and field workers.

What Types of Devices Does EMM Support in the AEC Sector?

In the AEC sector, enterprise mobility management solutions support a variety of mobile devices essential for site operations and remote access to project data. EMM provides crucial security and remote management for these devices, enabling efficient use of high-performance applications for complex data like CAD drawings and BIM models.

We’re talking Windows laptops, tablets, and even those tough, ruggedised devices that can handle being out on site. Then there are Android smartphones and tablets, or iPads and iPhones.

What is the Enterprise Mobility Management Software for AEC?

There are several excellent EMM software solutions for AEC, such as Sophos Mobile, Microsoft Intune, Jamf, Cisco, VMware Workspace ONE, and more.

How Much Does Enterprise Mobility Management Cost in Australia?

Generally, pricing for enterprise mobility management Australia starts at $5 to $15 per device per month. This pricing plan is for basic MDM services, which include essential features like device security and access controls.

A more comprehensive solution with MDM integrated with MAM and MCM, as well as advanced cybersecurity features, will cost you between $20 and $50 per device per month.

So, the cost of enterprise mobility management in Australia will vary significantly depending on the number of devices, level of security required, and complexity of management features.
