3 1. The service What is managed mobility? The mobility landscape is evolving continually. This disruptive technology is changing traditional business models and creating complexity and a host of challenges for organizations. But it is ultimately transformative, creating new levels of productivity for employees and providing businesses with new sources of data and insight. Organizations that embrace this unique opportunity will lead the pack. As the workplace becomes increasingly mobile, organizations need to create secure and flexible technology environments that support an ever-changing variety of device types, whether corporate-supplied or through workers bring-your-owndevice (BYOD) models. And as new users gain access to networks, corporate information and enterprise applications, the risks increase. Organizations that do not consistently enable mobility throughout the enterprise may be left behind by the competition. IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services can help your enterprise better manage the complexity, risk and costs inherent in highly dynamic mobile IT infrastructures and multivendor device environments. Through improved efficiency and the transformation of core business processes, IBM Managed Mobility can help you develop a mobile leadership position, reducing costs and allowing your staff to focus on innovation. Commonly, businesses start their mobile device journey with access to .

4 synchronization of , calendar and contacts between the corporate network and the mobile device, they do not provide the security needed to protect the information on an unsecured device. IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services is among the industry s most comprehensive enterprise mobility solutions, addressing security for devices, encryption of data and applications, as well as application provisioning. Virtually unmatched by competitors, IBM Managed Mobility provides enterprisewide management for the most popular smartphones, tablets and ruggedized devices running on Apple ios, Google Android, BlackBerry and Microsoft Windows, enabling employee choice through BYOD.

A mobile enterprise infrastructure can help you address the challenges inherent in mobility more efficiently and effectively. 1 The service Service components 3 Transition/deployment 4 Service delivery 5 Getting started 2

5 Many enterprises are not equipped to support new business models for mobile collaboration, application usage and data access, requiring new investment in technologies and skills. The BYOD trend has been growing, as have expectations for seamless integration with enterprise IT environments. A proliferation of platforms and devices, each with distinct requirements, is driving complexity in the infrastructure. Companies must enhance security to address mobility issues such as device loss and access to information. They must also be able to ensure secure access to corporate applications and data, and to separate corporate and personal content on BYOD devices. Organizations often underestimate the skills and staff required to execute enterprise mobility in-house. They lack the resources to manage the non-core activities of deploying, profiling and protecting mobile devices, particularly BYOD, while the need to maintain consistent mobile IT standards across the enterprise can drive costs higher. Using managed mobility as the framework for your mobility efforts can address challenges and make them far more manageable for your IT department and the organization as a whole. Why choose a managed service? At IBM, we understand the demands mobility can put on your IT organization. IBM has the experience and expertise to support the entire mobile life cycle, from 1 The service Service components 3 Transition/deployment 4 Service delivery 5 Getting started 3

9 requires heightened security or regulatory compliance, while a cloud solution offers faster deployment and reduces capital costs and floor space issues. Mobile device management The base service underlying IBM Managed Mobility is mobile device management (MDM). We team with the industry s leading vendors to bring you this service. We support products such as IBM Fiberlink Maas360, Air Watch, MobileIron and Tangoe. Device platforms supported include, but are not limited to, ios, Android, BlackBerry 5 and 10, Windows Mobile Phone 8 and Windows Mobile 6.5. This required foundation service includes installation, configuration and ongoing management of your MDM system. Organizations consistently rate security as the top challenge to be addressed for enterprise mobility. Integrated endpoint control is essential to robust security across the mobile enterprise. Managing and securing the mobile device, or endpoint, is necessary before allowing use of and other corporate information on those devices. Mobile device management provisions and oversees the devices, so that they can access , applications and other corporate information. It provides overthe-air management functions such as authentication, password resets, device lock or wipe for lost or stolen devices, and control of user access through security policies defined by you with assistance from the IBM mobility services team. 2 Service components 1 The service Transition/deployment 4 Service delivery 5 Getting started 7

10 User Endpoint control Network and communication Applications and app provisioning Security and certificate management Containerization Entities such as financial or government institutions often require heightened security. IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services offers advanced security features to help protect your enterprise data from security risks. Containerization on mobile devices helps businesses keep corporate and personal data protected by implementing controls to create and maintain separate environments for work and personal data on the device. Corporate applications and data are segregated and encrypted, providing an additional layer of security. Corporate security policies can be applied to the work-segregated perimeter, Figure 5. Mobile device management provides endpoint control, bringing all the elements of the mobile enterprise together while heightening security. 2 Service components 1 The service Transition/deployment 4 Service delivery 5 Getting started 8

11 requiring a corporate-strength password for access. Work data cannot be copied to the personal side of the device, and corporate cannot be forwarded using a personal account. If necessary, the work container can be remotely wiped, leaving personal data intact. Containerization is ideal for companies that need to protect business data and applications driven by legal and regulatory requirements, and is normally focused on companies with BYOD programs. We currently offer support for the two leaders in containerization: BlackBerry and Good for Enterprise (ios and Android). middleware Empower your employees with the ability to share and collaborate while on the move. If your business uses IBM Lotus Domino, the middleware component of IBM Managed Mobility will provide full support for IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. This service includes installation, configuration and maintenance of the Traveler server, running on either an on-premises or cloud MDM solution. Access to corporate content IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility includes a series of service components that provide security-rich access to your corporate content. Enterprise gateway The enterprise gateway is a good option if you do not require the strength of a containerization service, but want your employees to access the corporate network from their devices in a secure manner. This option allows both personal and corporate information to be accessed using a single browser from an employee s device, providing a level of security that is adequate for most companies. Content management An extension of the gateway service, content management enables your employees security-rich access to corporate content from their mobile devices, including direct 2 Service components 1 The service Transition/deployment 4 Service delivery 5 Getting started 9

13 links to enterprise repositories such as Microsoft SharePoint. Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest on the mobile device, and most common document types are supported. You can use access control lists to help ensure that each employee can access only the content they are authorized to view. Permissions are also configurable for how content can be shared, viewed offline, in third-party applications, ed or printed. If the mobile device becomes non-compliant, access to content can be revoked. Secured browsing to enterprise Another extension of the gateway service, security-rich browser access to the enterprise is enabled by managing and restricting access from mobile devices based on an employee s needs or group membership. Data going to and from the mobile device is encrypted. Policies can also include preventing access to the enterprise if the mobile device is out of compliance with your security policy. Secured application access to enterprise This extension of the gateway service enables security-rich access from applications running on mobile devices to the enterprise. Application data is protected in motion and at rest on the device. Application management IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services can help you create a robust mobile environment where you can deploy and manage individual mobile applications on your employees devices.

One client s story: expanding mobility to securely include BYOD ios and Android devices While this financial services client already enjoyed the benefits of mobility, its BlackBerry solution had not evolved with the shifts in mobility platforms. The bank wanted to increase efficiency and productivity for employees by also supporting employees personally owned Android and ios devices. However, the bank was required to comply with strict financial regulations, including strong security requirements. So, linking these BYOD devices to the institution s corporate and internal web sites was not so simple. IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility stepped in to provide a security-rich enterprise mobile solution, deployed first to a group of 1,200 users. Following the resounding success of the pilot, the deployment was expanded to a further 8,000 users. Deployment of mobile applications, including document sharing, is planned, along with expansion to additional devices and users Service delivery 1 The service 2 Service components 3 Service delivery 5 Getting started 1 2 3
