EVALUATION OF MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND ANALYSING INTEGRATION MODELS FOR MOBILITY ENTERPRISE

The mobile market is growing. More and more business units, (BUs) at the multinational company ABB start considering utilizing mobility to create business value, by offering product/system enhancement and by offering new services. However, at present, there is no standard way to realize this and they struggle with the security challenges for their solution. This thesis work will focus on investigating the Mobile Device Management (MDM) market and analyze how the existing technologies address all security requirements of a mobility solution. The main goal is to investigate how multi criteria methods can be applied to facilitate the choice of the most adequate MDM tool. It needs to provide a secure common architecture and integrate with existing backend infrastructures. The benefits include: (1) enabling the employees to use their own mobile devices in a secure way for working with the enterprise, (2) reliably integrating a backend system for new services in enterprise mobility, and (3) providing a (proven) secure solution to control and manage mobility on MDM technology
