The growth of the Internet and the move to wireless computing are creating one of the biggest transformations in IT history. These factors have led to a massive shift from client/server computing to low cost wireless architectures. With this shift has come an explosion of mobile devices across many remote locations, and today, the large numbers of devices in play render manual configuration and software provisioning unsustainable.

Key challenges include:

• The initial requirement to “touch” every unit
• A laborious process to deploy small software changes
• Inconsistent operating environments (DOS, Win)
• Updating default settings set on devices back from repair
• Misplaced set-up files and undocumented procedures
• The diverse mix of OS, application and freeware versions

AirWatchTM allows for the fast and easy deployment of applications and updates to your entire population of remotely deployed devices. The solution’s Configuration & Provisioning functionality:

• Distributes device settings, updates, and applications on deployed devices.
• Allows automated provisioning without user involvement.
• Deploys automated configurations and templates by location groups and via scheduler.
• Provides confirmation back to the console.
