<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\nLike it has for many years, the Garner Magic Quadrant reports have laid the foundation for buyers everywhere looking for the best technology in each space. Gartner evaluates each solution included in the quadrant and breaks them down into strengths and cautions and categorizes them based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute into four groups: Leaders, Visionaries, Challengers <\/em>and Niche Players.<\/em><\/p>\nIt has been just over a year since their last EMM Magic Quadrant release and the Enterprise Mobility market has evolved and grown quite a bit. So how does this year\u2019s report reflect that evolution? Let\u2019s take a look. Last year, and rightfully so, Gartner shifted away from Mobile Device Management (MDM) and began focusing on EMM which reflected the growth and sophistication of mobility within the enterprise. They stated the MDM was now one of three pillars need to truly secure and manage mobility within the enterprise. The other two pillars being Mobile Application Management (MAM) and Mobile Content Management (MCM).<\/p>\n
In their 2015 report they have added a forth core pillar that helps IT manage and secure enterprise mobility – \u00a0Mobile Identity. \u201cEMM tools help ensure only trusted devices and users access enterprise applications,” says the report. “Mobile identity capabilities may utilize one or more use of the following technologies: user and device certificates, app code signing, authentication, and single sign-on. EMM tools are increasingly using contextual information (such as location and time) to help inform access decisions.\u201d Again, this expansion in EMM core capabilities reflects the evolution, sophistication and importance of enterprise mobility in today’s organizations.<\/p>\n
Of all those included in the 2015 EMM Magic Quadrant BlackBerry and Soti seem to have the most movement within their respective categories. This positive movement can be attributed to the release of BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 (BES12) towards the end of 2014.<\/p>\n
In Soti\u2019s case they move down away from leaders category and deeper into the visionaries category. This movement can possibly be attributed to their heavy focus on Android devices. Version 12.1 and their MobiControl Android+ technology will offer a high level of control in Android environments but may be lacking in iOS.<\/p>\n
Gartner also offers a market overview of predictions and focuses for the 2015 EMM market which touches on the different kinds of data mobile strategy will have to deal with his year. Not only are enterprises needing to keep track of email, contacts and calendars, but other data as well, which can include wearables and other technology that will pop up within the next year. This makes the Visionaries category especially important because they are on the right track for the future of EMM.<\/p>\n
