Standardize across devices, apps and data and empower your frontline workers with the help of MaaS360®
Enable your frontline workers to use their devices in a protected way, wherever they may be. IBM MaaS360® manages purpose-built devices, ruggedized, non-GMS and Android Open Source Project (AOSP) devices from the same console as your other endpoints, and protects them with built-in threat management capabilities against SMS and email phishing, insider threats and much more.
Whether your teams use scanners in warehouses, take pictures in manufacturing facilities, handle meeting room displays or use ruggedized devices for their day-to-day work, MaaS360 makes sure these endpoints are managed as thoroughly as standard devices and kept in line with your security policies and industry standards.
Key features
- Enroll non-GMS devices
- Enhanced Kiosk Designer
- Application management
- Identity and access management
- Detailed visibility and control
Enroll non-GMS devices quickly
Enroll company-owned, non-GMS devices in Device Owner (DO) mode via QR code provisioning with MaaS360. Administrators can enroll corporate Android devices in DO mode by scanning a QR code.
Using DO for purpose-built devices allows IT admins to enforce policies and preload apps before user issuance. MaaS360 agent is automatically installed when devices are reset.
Control Device use through Kiosks
Create and manage kiosk policies through the Kiosk Designer , enabling IT administrators to control how devices are used. Administrators can configure app launcher positions, app ordering, branding elements, and more. Device usage can be aligned to intended workflows with app allowlists. The Enhanced Kiosk Designer also makes it easy to find and configure kiosk capabilities without the need for a test device.
Application and configuration management
Quickly install and manage application updates on non-GMS devices enrolled in MaaS360. Configurations are pushed directly to the operating system (OS) through the MaaS360 app. The distribution and installation of enterprise apps is also supported. Frontline workers can use the App Catalog to install enterprise apps. Purpose-built devices include RealWear, Amazon FireOS, Santok, Zebra and more.
Identity and access management (IAM)
Deliver single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for cloud and enterprise apps by using MaaS360 Identity, provided out-of-the-box through integration with IBM Cloud® Identity. Used in conjunction with automated compliance rules, risk-based Conditional Access (CA) policies can be configured to ensure risky users are not interacting with sensitive data or other corporate resources.
Streamline disparate management actions
Diagnose and resolve device, user, and application issues with IBM MaaS360, providing IT teams detailed visibility and control, facilitating optimum mobile user productivity. This streamlines support by allowing you to: secure the device by geofencing to a location, push OS updates to keep the device secure, locate lost or stolen devices, assist users with a self-service portal, and more.
A country that doesn’t allow the Google services or play store where Android devices need to be managed. For example, devices used in a country such as China.
Multiple companies uses AOSP devices that are purpose built for specific use cases that are not Google certified. For example, a tablet in a meeting room used for booking information that doesn’t require other advanced services.
Clients with strict access rules that allow access only to an internal network. For example, devices in a manufacturing hub or storage center that requires closed access.
A not-for-profit healthcare organization secures the personal information of its 400,000 members.
A fortune 100 global pharmaceuticals company uses MaaS360 UEM to support many different platforms through a single management console.
The basis of any UEM deployment is MDM. While UEM solutions deliver a rich set of security and productivity tools for any device, none of that matters if devices themselves are not enrolled and managed at a basic level. MDM solutions provide the API-based policy, same-day support for all popular operating systems, compliance rules and app distribution that make up the backbone of any MDM platform.
UEM offers a simplified and consolidated device management approach. It is a culmination of the device policy available in MDM and the data security and identity features provided through EMM deployment. UEM adds to those capabilities by layering threat defense, AI analytics and the management of any device—whether smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop or IoT—that is using any of the common mobile operating systems.
EMM solutions represent an evolution from MDM, a midway point to full UEM with a focus on the user experience and data security. Within MaaS360, EMM features include the secure container—an encrypted sandbox installed on user devices equipped with workplace applications—as well as identity tools and mobile app management policies for corporate apps.
Curated mobility services offerings help you get the most out of your MaaS360 investment throughout the UEM lifecycle. IBM Mobility Success Services Security Expert Labs engagements scale from SMB-tailored offerings to large enterprise projects.
