Android Enterprise Management and Security Released

Posted on 10. Oct, 2011 by dfloyd in Enterprise and Business, android

Motorola Mobility subsidiary 3LM released its comprehensive support software for enterprise Android applications today (October 10). Delivering device management and security solutions, 3LM gives IT the power to support smartphone and tablet Android users.

With the explosive growth of smartphones and tablets in the workplace, traditional IT support has been forced to change from rigid restrictions to developing solutions the tools and devices users need to perform their job.

Garner Research has suggested that consumerization of IT is one of the top trends impacting IT strategies and practices. They suggest, “Consumer behaviors will have the power to reshape how enterprise IT works; they will bring new and varied expectations for IT, which, at an enterprise IT level, must be recognized and developed.”

Android is a perfect example of this dramatic shift as more and more consumers are using Android smartphones and tablets at home but also in the workplace. At the same, there have been security concerns related to supporting the Android operating system. Alongside the trending use of Androids in the workplace, 3LM has been working in “stealth mode” with the goal of delivering enterprise level security. Motorola bought 3LM last February with the intention of delivering 3LM solutions to all handset manufacturers.

The 3LM technology will provide business and government entities with easy to use management, enterprise security and device security. 3LM secures data on the device as well as in transit from device to enterprise. IT managers can use 3LM tools to manage fleet devices remotely from adding software to wiping data.
