Simplify Mobile Application Management: Streamline App Deployment and Tracking

Managing mobile apps across multiple devices can be a nightmare for IT teams, especially with the growing number of enterprise devices. And it’s not just about ensuring mobile apps are up-to-date—it's also about maintaining security, control, and flexibility. So, how do you ensure smooth and hassle-free access to enterprise apps?

The answer lies in using SureMDM, a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution that allows you to install, uninstall, and update apps on enterprise devices. If you're already a SureMDM user, you are familiar with different ways to deploy an application. One such method is deploying applications via the SureMDM App Store. First, you will need to add the application to the store, then navigate to the profiles section, create an Application Policy by selecting the app, and deploy it to the required devices.

Challenges in App Deployment and Version Management

While deploying apps via the App Store may sound straightforward, there are a few extra steps and challenges in the current workflow. For starters, creating an application policy to deploy the apps after adding them to the App Store can feel a bit roundabout. Additionally, when you upload different versions of the same app, it’s treated as a separate app, and a new tile is created for each version. This becomes particularly tricky for organizations dealing with multiple app versions for business needs, as it can be hard to track versions and monitor the deployment status across a large number of devices.

To optimize the application management process and simplify app versioning, deploying, and monitoring across devices, SureMDM has made the latest enhancements in its Mobile Application Management (MAM) capabilities.

Enhancements to SureMDM Mobile Application Management (MAM) Capabilities

These latest features address existing challenges and streamline the app deployment process, allowing you to leverage the enhanced Mobile Application Management (MAM) capabilities for more efficient app version management and deployment.

1. Add Multiple Versions of the Same Application

Add multiple application versions to the App Store, and all of them are grouped and displayed under the same application, making it easier to deploy different app versions on different devices.

2. Assign App Version to a Profile Directly

Next to the App Version section, there is the “Assigned Profiles” section; you can directly add an application version to the profile and deploy it onto the devices. When you add the application to any existing profile, then the app gets installed on the devices automatically. If you add an updated app version to the existing profile, then the application on the device gets updated to the latest version.

3. Application Tracking and Deployment Status

From the device details section, you can gather insights on the app deployment status, and know the reason for failure of app deployment.

So, whether you need a new app version for a specific department, or ensure that all employees have the latest app version, SureMDM’s Mobile Application Management capabilities make it all happen seamlessly.

Streamlined Mobile Application Management with SureMDM

In the past, managing apps could feel like spinning plates—constantly worrying about app version, deployment, and keeping track of what’s installed on which device. But with SureMDM’s latest application management enhancements, the process has become much simpler and more efficient.

By streamlining app version management and automating updates, SureMDM is giving IT teams the tools they need to stay in control while making the app experience smoother for end users. It’s not just about making things easier for IT—it’s about ensuring that everyone in the organization has the right tools to do their job, without compromising security or control.
