Computers, phones, and tablets managed centrally with consistent security and software.
Management of user devices including laptops, desktops, phones, and tablets. We ensure consistent OS versions, security patches, software licenses, and device security through Mobile Device Management (MDM) and management tools. Users stay productive while you maintain control and compliance.
The short answer
Device management is the central control of an organisation's laptops, desktops, phones and tablets through Mobile Device Management tools, so that operating systems, patches, software and security settings stay consistent and a lost or stolen device can be locked or wiped remotely. It’s one function of IT Support within your Operations Hub — part of a connected back office.
The Challenge
Common problems we solve
You don't know if employee devices are patched and secure—they manage their own devices
An employee leaves and their work data is still on their laptop or phone
A user's device is compromised and malware spreads to your network
You can't enforce password policies or encryption across devices
What's Included
Here's what you receive
Device inventory
An audit of your hardware, operating system versions and security gaps across every laptop, phone and tablet.
Central management tools
Management tools deployed to give you one place to control, monitor and support devices remotely.
Patch & update automation
Patch schedules established and automated where possible so devices stay current without manual effort.
Security policy enforcement
Encryption, password requirements and VPN enforcement applied consistently across all devices.
Remote lock & wipe
The ability to locate, lock and erase company data on a device that is lost or stolen.
Why It Matters
How it works
Device management brings enterprise-grade control to SME environments. Rather than each user managing their own device updates, security settings, and passwords, you enforce consistent standards across everyone's laptop, phone, and tablet. This is critical for security: if users don't patch their devices, they're vulnerable to malware. It's also critical for compliance: you need to be able to document that devices meet security standards. For SMEs, device management often feels like overkill until the first data breach—then it becomes essential.
