Get Full Control With Mobile Device Management Services

Company and personal phones and tablets, plus Windows laptops and Macs. Most business devices can be enrolled, though older models that no longer receive updates may have limited options. BCA reviews your devices at the start and tells you which ones can be managed and which should be replaced.

No. On a personal phone, MDM manages only the work side: the work apps, the company email account and the data inside them. BCA can't see personal photos, messages, browsing history or personal apps, and removing the work data leaves everything else on the phone untouched. This is often the question employees care about most, so BCA can help explain it to your staff before they enroll.

Report it to the help desk as soon as you notice. BCA can lock the device, show its last known location where the device supports it and erase company data remotely. A company-owned device can be wiped completely; on a personal phone, only the work apps and data are removed. Changing the person's password is part of the same response.

Even a small team benefits once company email and files are on phones. One lost phone without a passcode can expose customer information, and setting up devices one at a time takes longer than it seems. MDM makes sense for most businesses as soon as people work from more than one device.

MDM controls how devices are set up and used: who has them, what's installed and which settings they follow. Endpoint security protects devices from threats such as malware and ransomware and watches for attacks. They work together, and BCA manages both, but they solve different problems.

Very little. Company devices can often be enrolled with almost no effort from the user, and new devices can be set up to configure themselves the first time they're turned on. For personal phones, staff install an app and sign in, which takes a few minutes. BCA plans the rollout with you and gives staff simple instructions.
