RSS feedsMobile operator Orange has launched its hosted Device Management service which allows IT teams to manage and support devices mobile remotely.
The system enables IT to update, troubleshoot and even lock or wipe devices remotely and requires no back-end servers.
Security features included in the system allow IT administrators to remotely enforce password policies, lock down Bluetooth and camera functionality, and remove unauthorised applications, which could be affecting the mobile device's performance.
Managers can also apply company-specific settings over the air to all devices simultaneously, and can view logs of all user activity.
"It is becoming increasingly important for organisations to be able to manage their device fleet in a cost-effective and time-efficient way," said Anthony Keyworth, director of business products,at Orange's UK business services division.
Orange Device Management costs £3.50 + VAT per user, per month plus data charges, including Orange technical support.
