What are some important aspects of Mobile Device Management?
There are two major aspects of Mobile Device Management, the method by which MDM is achieved and the specific objects which are managed by the MDM system. The method by which MDM is achieved must be standards-based. Standards based device management ensures interoperability between device management servers and clients, independent of vendor. Furthermore, an OMA-DM implementation is superior to OMA-CP implementations because it provides the ability to verify changes made to a device. Given that a standards based system is in place, it can be used to transfer a standardized set of information between the client and the server. These are defined as management objects, which are part of a management tree.
