An overview of AirWatch
AirWatch is based in Atlanta, USA, with offices worldwide. AirWatch has a presence in more than 150 countries, providing usability in 17 different languages. They were founded in 2003 and began their journey with the management of wireless and rugged devices. Today, AirWatch has been recognized by Gartner as the current leader in EMM. In 2014, AirWatch was acquired by VMware, the industry leader in virtualization software for $1.54 billion.
As an EMM platform, AirWatch has built its solutions to support organizations with its mobility deployments and strategies with ease of use and security in mind. With AirWatch's EMM platform, you will be able to implement (depending on the license) the following components:
- Mobile Device Management
- Workspace Management through containerization
- Mobile Application Management
- Mobile Content Management
- Mobile Email Management
- Secure Browser Management
- Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing
- Multiuser Management
- Laptop Management
- Profiles for personal (BYOD)/corporate-owned/shared devices
- Mobile Security
- Enterprise Integration
- Application store
- Full inventory of all mobile assets
- Management portal
Understanding and implementing these components will allow you to provide corporate information to your work environment. This will allow employees to become more efficient in what they do best, whether it's an executive who is able to retrieve and modify documents securely on their personal device, a pilot who now has their flight plan always up to date contained within a mobile device, or a physician who is able to access patient information securely from their mobile device. These are just a few examples of the power of EMM and the opportunities available with AirWatch and its fully integrated, single pane of glass solution.
