Helping companies to manage and secure their mobile devices in a better way, Fiberlink, a provider of enterprise mobility management solutions, has enhanced its MaaS360 Mobile Device Management (MDM) offering.

MaaS360 for Mobile Devices is a cloud-based platform that meets the complete set of needs for mobile device management. This significant, unique characteristic of being cloud-based enables simple on-boarding and rapid ROI with no servers to install, no complex configurations and no upfront costs.

The economic and technical advantages of true SaaS (News - Alert) for mobility cannot be offered by vendors that host their existing on-premise solutions and label it SaaS.

“There is a lot of confusion out there in the market around mobile device management and cloud. Our approach is to educate customers and prospects on how to best approach their end to end mobility needs and what it means to really be SaaS,” said James Sheward, CEO of Fiberlink. “We have a long history in delivering secure, cloud-based lifecycle management of mobile devices and users.”

Allowing users to access a true SaaS-based mobility solution through the Internet, Fiberlink frees users from on-premise hardware, network reconfiguration, ongoing maintenance, updates or upgrades and perpetual licenses. From a highly secure, multi-tenant production environment, MaaS360 provides instant-on access to powerful MDM capabilities, which streamlines the device enrollment process. Within minutes, users can get an intuitive device enrollment process and administrators can choose if they want a fully-automated process, the company stated.
