225 mobility applications for engineers

• 85 are Android (Google), 38%• 141 are iOS (Apple), 62% These apps are developed by 115

companies. Of these...• 61 developed for Android, 53%• 54 for iOS, 47%

Key points•Reference, calculator, and utility related applications are the three major types, totaling more than half.•Utilities round out the apps in the double digits.•Business and instrumentation are the next most popular.

Reference apps are most common, followed by calculator apps, productivity apps, utilities, and then business related applications.

Key points• General engineering was the runaway favorite with 62, about 28% of the total. • About half that many were HVAC and electrical in nature.• Control methods, file preview, business administration, and education categories round out those in the double digits.

Key points about engineers and mobility according to Control Engineering research

• More than half use mobile devices for monitoring, controls or instrumentation; alarms, configuration, training, and control are more than one third. • Top benefits of mobility technologies: Data access, productivity increases, time savings, cost savings, and ease of use. • Challenges in the way of wide use include lack of knowledge, lack of training, and security concerns. • Spending on mobility products and services spending and outlook for productivity are strongly correlated.• Major mobility application types are: Reference, calculator, and utilities, totaling more than half.• 2/3 of apps are free; the average price of the paid apps was $5, although prices varied widely, up to about $150.

Mobile Device Management

©2014 ARC Advisory Group

What Is Mobile Device Management?• MDM is a technology that enables enterprises to

proactively manage mobile devices • MDM provides the functionality for software

distribution, policy management, inventory management, security management, and service management for mobile devices

• MDM functionality typically includes over-the-air distribution of applications, data and configuration settings for all types of mobile devices, including mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, ruggedized mobile computers, mobile printers, mobile POS devices, and BYOD ©2014 ARC Advisory Group

EMM

Mobile Device Management

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)

• MDM is an application under the EMM umbrella offered by many suppliers.

• EMM solutions typically include: – Secure mobile application development – Secured business and productivity applications– Mobile device management (MDM) – Mobile application management (MAM)– BYOD policy construction services

©2014 ARC Advisory Group

Why MDM?

• The intent of MDM is to optimize the functionality and security of a network of business related mobile devices while minimizing cost and downtime.

• MDM can reduce support costs and business risks by controlling and protecting the data and configuration settings for all mobile devices in the business network.

MDM Components

• Software Distribution / Application Management • Policy Management• Inventory Management / Device Management• Security Management• Service Management

Primary components in an MDM solution.©2014 ARC Advisory Group

MDM Deployment Models

• On-Premise– Up front expenses for software license, computer

hardware, and IT staff– Requires in-house capability and resources for

maintenance and trouble-shooting• In the cloud

– Low start-up costs– Ideal for SMBs– Billed as a monthly subscription fee– Makes user completely reliable on vendor’s capability and

services– High recurring expenses every year ©2014 ARC Advisory Group
