Mobile Device Management, or MDM, can
be employed by educational institutions and small-businesses to large
enterprises to manage numbers of mobile devices.
The advantages of MDM are that it:
Streamlines deployment of devices
Manages device inventory
Painlessly distributes apps
Configures corporate email
Manages Wi-Fi security
Enables employees, or device users, to remain productive
Helps prevent breach of corporate policies
Remotely locks and/or wipes lost or stolen devices
Mobile Device Management for Small Business
Bushel—created
by JAMF, the makers of the Casper Suite—is a mobile device management
solution aimed at a different sort of person whose task is to manage
devices in a workplace.
JAMF envisaged a system for people who had
IT as a task, not as a career. The sort of person that, perhaps,
manages IT devices within a business in addition to their primary role.
Setup, Manage and Protect With Bushel
Mobile Device Management Simplified
Bushel has been designed to make it easy
for everyone to set up, manage and maintain their Apple devices. What's
more, this can be done at any time and from any location.
Bushel is a simple, intuitive way for non-technical people to manage Apple devices.
Bushel
streamlines the setup process so that even the simplest of steps do not
become time-consuming and it is no longer necessary to configure
devices individually, which is time consuming in itself.
Even
mobile devices can be managed, with Bushel, through its remote
management functionality. This enables the configuration of work email,
Wi-Fi settings, distributing apps and resetting passcodes.
Bushel
recognises not only the importance of devices themselves but the
importance of company data. This is protected securely and can be
removed, with just a click if a device is lost or stolen, ensuring the
security of your information.
Bushel Functionality
Device Inventory
The Bushel dashboardDevice Inventory gives visibilty to:
Serial numbers
Device assignment
Settings configuration
Installed apps
Device model
Date added
Hardware addresses
IP addresses
UDID of each device
Through
a web-based dashboard and control panel, Bushel provides an overview of
the status of applied email accounts, security settings and deployed
applications.
The device name, operating system version, serial
number of the device and more, means no more managing inventory on a
spreadsheet. This one is always up-to-date.
Bushel can monitor the
storage available across the devices meaning that any storage issues
can be addressed long before they become an issue.
When it comes
to warranty status and extended coverage availability, Bushel manages
those as well. Asset information can be exported to a spreadsheet for
easy importing into popular accounting and asset management packages.
Distributing Apps
Bushel enables you to distribute specific apps to enrolled devicesFor
anyone tasked with managing even a small number of devices, any
duplication of work is not only repetitive, it's tedious and it is not a
smart use of time.
If it takes 30-minutes to configure a device,
having to then configure another dozen devices will take you the rest of
the day. No good at all if IT is not your primary role.
Bushel installs any defined free apps on OS X and iOS, from the Mac App Store and iOS App Store, respectively.
It does this all at once to make the managing of apps painfree. For apps that are paid, an enrolment into Apple's Volume Purchasing Program (VPP) means you can distribute and manage these, too.
Furthermore, any app purchased using the VPP can be revoked from one device and moved to a new device.
Email Configuration Made Simple
Pre-configure email accounts across devices and make it easy for you and employeesConfiguring
email accounts is a bind, even for those familiar with the process.
Just entering a username, password, email address, incoming mailserver,
outgoing mailserver, and more, takes time.
Now repeat that across multiple devices to take even more time.
Alternatively,
have Bushel configure company email accounts across all of your
devices. This works with IMAP, POP3, GoogleMail, Yahoo! Mail and even
Microsoft Exchange accounts.
Wi-Fi Settings Sorted
Configuring company Wi-Fi settings and distributing to all enrolled devicesLike email, Wi-Fi can be a pain to maintain.
Bushel
helps you configure devices to automatically join your secure wireless
networks. Supporting WEP, WPA and WPA2 security, there is no limit to
the number of networks that can be added through Bushel.
Not only
can you save your staff from having to type, and get wrong, multiple
secure passwords. You can roll out super-secure Wi-Fi passwords without
inconveniencing any of your colleagues.
Device Security
Bushel helps to protect your valuable hardware assets as well as company dataApple
products are renowned for their ease of use and longevity. They also
retain good resale values, are desirable in their own right and are an
attractive proposition to thieves.
Perhaps more worrying than the
cost of the device itself is the cost to your business, and reputation,
should any confidential information be compromised following a loss or
theft.
Bushel protects your hardware and your reputation as any
device that is lost or stolen can be locked remotely or even completely
wiped.
Bushel goes further with the option to require passcodes
and to control the length of time before any device automatically locks.
Apple Device Enrolment Program (DEP)
Apple Device Enrolment ProgramFor
any business, whether it has remote-working employees or not, a key
benefit of Bushel is the ability to configure company devices without
the need to physically touch them.
Through the Apple Device Enrolment Program (DEP),
it is possible to automate the enrolment of a device and to skip basic
setup screens in order to streamline the device activation process for
new users or for users of new devices.
This means that your
employees can be up and running with the minimum of fuss and that frees
up your time to manage all of the company devices.

Enrol both desktop and mobile Apple devices in BushelBushel is a web-based system that can be accessed wherever and whenever you need to manage any of the company devices.
A

convey key information to make managing multiple devices a seamless
experience.

Bushel is free for the
first three devices and then US $2.00 per month, per additional device
thereafter. There are no contracts or commitments so you can cancel at
any time, no questions asked.

Conclusion
For
some businesses, IT responsibilities are split between employees to
save money, regardless of their IT experience. If managing a number of
devices at work is a task outside of your core role, you have the
potential to save lots of time with help from Bushel—without exhausting
the budget.
For the setting up, the roll out of applications,
email and Wi-Fi functionality and the management of device security,
Bushel's web-based dashboard and control panel does an extraordinarily
good job of simplifying complex tasks.
With it's flexible approach
on device enrolment and management with a monthly per-device nominal
subscription, if you want to reclaim your evenings and weekends and
concentrate on what you are employed to do at work, Bushel is
invaluable.
