Overview

Today, more than 63% of the population owns mobile phones and tablets. While this opens new possibilities for employee productivity, it also brings new threats of uncontrolled access to networks and confidential data within your organization. WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager (WSO2 EMM) offers a complete enterprise mobility management solution to address these pros and cons by enhancing convenience and security for your workforce. The enterprise mobility management capabilities given by WSO2 EMM are bundled within WSO2 IoT Server.

It enables you to get started quickly without time-consuming licensing or legal reviews, and it protects you from vendor lock-in. It gives you the flexibility to take the product in new directions, preserves full flexibility to commercialize your products, and ensures that the code is examined by many parties to ensure its reliability, security, and feature fit. WSO2 is a leading open source vendor that provides enterprise support. To learn more about the benefits of open source, see Why Open Source for Your IoT and Mobile Projects?

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

WSO2 EMM manages the Android, iOS, and Windows mobile devices of your workforce. Does your organization allow employees to bring their own devices to work, or does it provide corporate-owned devices to employees? WSO2 EMM allows you to enroll Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) and Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) devices.

With WSO2 EMM, you can:

Install the WSO2 EMM profile on the device. You can choose the BYOD or COPE enrollment path for the device.
Apply policies on devices so that they adhere to company security policies, such as disabling the device's camera when the device enters a certain geo area.
Customize the device enrollment process to enroll Corporate Owned, Single Use (COSU) and more.
Remotely control, upgrade the firmware, wipe data, transfer files, and much more.
Add geofences, monitor, and analyze device data using real-time analytics.
Group and manage devices in one go.

Mobile Application Management (MAM)

In addition to managing devices, WSO2 EMM helps you manage your mobile applications. For example, you might want your employees to access only the mobile applications made available to them via the organization's app store and not via the Play Store or iTunes.

With WSO2 EMM, you can:

Manage the lifecycle of mobile applications from the point of creating the application to installing it on a device.
Make certain applications visible only to those with defined permissions.
Manage mobile application versioning and update mobile applications.
Install mobile applications on multiple devices simultaneously using enterprise subscriptions.
Blacklist or whitelist mobile applications.

Mobile Identity Management (MIM)

WSO2 EMM supports user and device certificates, authentication, and single sign-on. Therefore, WSO2 EMM ensures that only trusted devices and users can access enterprise data or applications.

With WSO2 EMM, you can:

Authenticate and authorize users that sign in to WSO2 EMM.
Enable users to sign in to the WSO2 device management console, application publisher, and application store user interfaces using single sign-on (SSO). WSO2 EMM supports the SAML2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols for SSO.
Protect all the API communications of WSO2 EMM via the OAuth2 protocol.
Use the world-renowned WSO2 Identity Server (IS) capabilities to manage users and devices.
