CA's New CA Mobile Device Management Solution Provides Enhanced Control of BlackBerry Smartphones

By providing corporate IT organizations with expanded management capabilities and device-user self-service functionality, CA MDM substantially mitigates security and compliance risks associated with these devices-while also reducing total cost of ownership.

CA MDM simplifies the provisioning and ongoing management of mobile devices via existing over-the-air connections without placing agents on any devices. It features a configurable self-service portal for end users that empowers them to rapidly register their devices, manage their passwords, and address common problems without the assistance of corporate help-desk personnel. It also provides a Web-based console that unifies all core management tasks-including security management, asset inventory, configuration management, policy compliance, and reporting-for all devices across the enterprise.

"During our evaluation of CA MDM, we saw how it can reduce administrative overhead and time-to-resolution for a wide range of end-user issues," said Juan Santiago, wireless telephony specialist at CDW Corporation, a leading provider of technology products and services to business, government and education. "We also saw how end users can activate their devices through CA MDM in about ten minutes-which, in addition to saving users time and money, can also increase their satisfaction with IT service levels."-CA news
