SAP Launches Latest Version Of SAP Afaria MDM Solution

SAP AG has introduced the latest version of SAP Afaria, the mobile device management solution. Enhancements to the industry’s most widely deployed enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution will include deepening enterprise integration and distribution capabilities to effectively manage and secure the large number of disparate users bringing their own devices into the workplace. To address the growing use of enterprise mobile apps, SAP will include new app and self-service portal designs to provide a familiar, consumer-like app portal experience in the enterprise.

SAP Afaria meets the EMM needs of enterprises. These needs include traditional mobile device management (MDM) as well as managing and securing the entire mobile device, app and data life cycle across the enterprise. The latest release of SAP Afaria aims to remove complexity and support the growing mobile workforce by helping ensure that all data stored and transmitted via mobile device is protected and secure. It will allow customers to gain greater control and insight into a wide range of devices and apps, remotely back up and delete data if a device is lost or stolen and easily deliver fixes, upgrades and refreshes to mobile users.
