Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Mobile device management (MDM) includes software that provides the following functions: software distribution, policy management, inventory management, security management, and service management for smartphones and media tablets. MDM functionality is similar to that of PC configuration life cycle management (PCCLM) tools; however, mobile-platform-specific requirements are often part of MDM suites.
