In order to achieve accurate balance among risk mitigation, compliance assurance and device management and simultaneously maximizing utility of device and user acceptance that would require an integrated and thoughtful approach towards MRM.
Need for MRM
There is being observed a mass proliferation of heterogeneous deployment of Android, Windows, iOS and Blackberry and other platforms as well connected mobile devices that have started to become a norm. This is also being embraced by organizations that is bring your own device (BYOD) trend on the other side the tablets and smartphone are increasingly becoming a center or say hub for personal and business data.
