Device Enrollment

The type of device enrollment generally depends on the individual piece of equipment being used, the software the company has and the network or software it runs on, to organize all of the devices under their control.

Mobile device management (MDM) software is used by many companies to support device enrollment and management. Businesses can assign users to individual devices, apply user-specific functions, and, erase the content of devices if necessary, with this software.

The most common types of device enrollment can be broken into User enrollment, Individual device enrollment and Automated device enrollment. Device enrollment into an MDM will include data on the device capacity and storage, apps installed on the device, model and the serial number of the device, device operating system and device contact number in most cases.

Managing all devices under a business can be made easier for identity and access management with device enrollment. It also ensures users have access to everything they need to complete their work tasks. It gives admins greater control, simplifies employee onboarding and adds security through mass automation.

Admins should have a good understanding of devices and systems in the business, review apps needed for each device, remember to add devices to inventory and asset management systems and implement company-wide usage policies to make device enrollment more successful.
