Lausanne, Switzerland - 8 September 2011 - Kaseya, the leading global provider of automated IT systems management software, today announced the new Kaseya Mobile Device Management module, uniquely positioned to quickly and easily assist organisations in addressing the proliferation of the bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) trend invading the corporate network.
The Kaseya Mobile Device Management module is part of an integrated and automated IT system management (ITSM) solution that handles the inherent mobile device challenges of e-mail configuration, back-up, asset visibility, and security for IT professionals in corporate or managed service environments.
The sweeping popularity of Apple's iPad and iPhone, as well as the Android smartphone, has blurred the lines between personal and corporate devices in organisations globally. Today, employees want one smartphone device that handles both their work and personal e-mail accounts, with access into corporate applications.
Additionally, IT professionals have also noticed recent changes in how corporate executives engage in their work; with most preferring to leave their corporate-issued laptops in the office in favour of travelling with their personal Apple iPad as their only work device. Faced with the dynamic and varied mobile landscape, CTOs and CIOs are tasked with the need to keep data secure, keep support costs down and employees' productivity up. In their review of mobile device management point solutions, many IT professionals now realise the limitations of point solutions or manual procedures in handling all the security and support challenges in a distinct and separate environment versus a unified and integrated ITSM approach for ease of use in full device management.
New module delivers key functionality
The Kaseya IT Systems Management integrated framework is the ideal platform to extend the management to the mobile device. Some of the Kaseya Mobile Device Management (KMDM) key options will include audit, back-up, e-mail configuration and security tracking.

"We know that addressing the challenges of mobile devices on the corporate network has become a mission-critical operation for IT staff. The Kaseya IT systems platform is positioned for full device management, from laptop computer to Android smartphone and Apple iPad,” said Mark Sutherland, president, Kaseya.
"With our new Kaseya Mobile Device Management, global IT staff can extend the ITSM benefits to all mobile devices to reduce the cost and effort of manual remediation while enabling security and policy compliance."
