Setting up apps can be frustrating, particularly when dealing with enterprise applications. We’ve all thought things like “What should I enter in this field?” or “I wish I could skip these installation steps!” at some point in time. Mobile Device Manager Plus provides a clear solution to these predicaments with its new Managed App Configuration feature. This feature helps admins apply preconfigured settings right as apps are distributed, reducing the number of steps end users need to perform. Let’s see how Managed App Configuration can improve end-user usability.
Imagine two companies distribute the same email app, Microsoft Outlook, to all their employees. In Company A, the IT admin simply distributes the app to the users’ devices. The users must enter the email address they use to access the mail server. They must also complete the initial setup, which contains many technical details about Company A’s mail server, ports, and certificates. These configurations can be difficult for a new user, and Company A must maintain accessible, up-to-date documents to help users out with these configurations.
Meanwhile, company B’s IT admin uses Managed App Configuration to directly distribute all required setup details along with the app, including the user’s specific email address. With this simplified setup, all users have to do is enter their password and the app is ready to use!
Mobile Device Manager Plus’s Managed App Configuration feature also helps companies secure their data and devices. Apply URL restrictions during app distribution to secure mobile access to web browsers. Prevent unauthorized access to in-house apps by regulating which devices can access your apps.
These are just a few cases where Managed App Configuration lends a helping hand. Learn more about this new feature here.
