* View devices by platform, ownership, carrier, and compliance

* Drill down into specific device status and configuration information

* Troubleshoot issues

* Assign policies and take basic actions Insight makes mobile IT

professionals more productive by giving them a Mobile First experience for EMM.

MobileIron Spaces Protect Privacy and Provide Flexible Delegation

As Global 5000 enterprises embrace mobility, the number of IT professionals

who need to access a MobileIron system increases and their tasks become more

complex. IT responsibilities can differ by function, geography, device

ownership, or a host of other criteria, so traditional role-based access

control is no longer enough. To meet the needs of the global, mobile

enterprise, MobileIron Core will include a new foundational structure called

"Spaces," which will allow global administrators to set data and task

boundaries across their IT staff. With Spaces, organizations will be able to:

* Protect user privacy by ensuring that administrators can only access mobile

data and take actions appropriate to their role. For example, very few, if any,

administrators might be authorized to access application inventory or location

on a particular device. Spaces are designed to ensure that unauthorized

administrators cannot view this data. MobileIron has a history of innovation

for protecting user privacy and, inApril 2014, was granted US patent 8695058

<http://www.google.com/patents/US8695058> for "Selective management of mobile

device data in an enterprise environment". 

* Delegate administrative permissions for devices based on user or device

attributes such as device ownership (BYOD vs. corporate), country, language,

employee function, OS platform, or device type. An administrator in one country

or business unit should not be able to view or take actions on devices in

another country or business unit. The same administrator may also have broad

permissions on a corporate device but only a subset of those permissions on a

personal device.

* Set priorities across Spaces to eliminate conflicts. For example, the

Executive Space, which represents all executive devices, may have a higher

priority than the iOS Space, which represents all iOS devices. As a result, the

same IT administrator will follow a different set of policies and take a

different set of actions on the CEO's corporate iPad versus the engineer's BYOD

iPhone. Spaces will allow global IT organizations to make each IT function

productive by providing access to the information and permissions it needs to

complete its tasks without compromising privacy or policy boundaries. Spaces

were developed to provide the flexibility and granularity needed to match both

the requirements of a decentralized global IT organization and the complexities

of a mobile deployment.
