Unified Endpoint Management

Short description: Software tool

Unified Endpoint Management is a class of software tools that provide a single management interface for mobile, PC and other devices. It is an evolution of, and replacement for, mobile device management (MDM) and enterprise mobility management (EMM) and client management tools.[1]

It provides capabilities for managing and securing mobile applications, content, collaboration and more. It is a single approach to managing all endpoints like smartphones, tablets, laptops, printers, ruggedized devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and wearables.

## Evolution

With new types of devices being used in the workplace, administration of traditional laptops, desktops and new devices was a challenging task for IT administrators. Traditional CMTs (client management tools) lacked some features for a complete approach to endpoint management. The rise of UEM[2] was also a result of the adoption of newer enterprise friendly platforms like Windows10, and iOS11.

Differences between MDM, EMM and UEM[3]

* MDM controls mobile device functionality and converts it into a single purpose or dedicated device. It has features like device enrollment, remote control, device lockdown, and location tracking
* EMM offers all MDM features, and also provides Mobile Information Management, Bring Your Own Device, Mobile Application Management and Mobile Content Management.
* UEM provides enterprises management of mobile devices as well as endpoints like desktops, printers,IoT devices and wearables from a single management platform.
