Many companies are equipping their employees with mobile devices to boost efficiency and productivity. To optimize this approach, it is essential to deploy a simple, high-performance mobile device management (MDM) solution. Given the diversity of solutions available on the market, it’s crucial to choose the MDM that integrates with your business tools, to simplify the management of your fleet of devices as much as possible.
TinyMDM software is an easy-to-use mobile device management tool designed for companies looking to manage their Android mobile devices efficiently, while guaranteeing security and productivity for their teams. Its ability to integrate with a wide range of professional tools makes it a particularly flexible solution, tailored to the needs of businesses. Find out below how you can simplify your mobile fleet management with the integrations available on TinyMDM:
1. Simplified enrollment of mobile devices via ZTE or KME
TinyMDM supports ZTE (Zero Touch Enrollment) and KME (Knox Mobile Enrollment), two simplified enrollment processes for Android mobile devices. One enables enrollment of all Android devices, while the second is dedicated to Samsung devices. In both cases, all you have to do is buy your mobile devices from an authorized reseller, who will preconfigure them for you. Thanks to ZTE and KME integrations, devices are automatically connected to TinyMDM from the very first start-up, without any end-user intervention. Companies can then configure their wide range of mobile devices, simply and quickly. Device set-up is easy, ensuring that every user has the right configurations right from the start.
2. Synchronization of Microsoft Azure users and contacts via Microsoft Entra ID
Many companies are now using Microsoft Azure and, in particular, the Microsoft Entra ID service for identity and access management. To simplify the management of its customers’ mobile fleets, French Mobile Device Management software TinyMDM has implemented an integration between Microsoft Entra ID and its MDM platform at user and contact level. Thanks to this integration, it is possible to automatically synchronize all Microsoft Azure users to be linked to TinyMDM, without having to create them by hand. Similarly for contacts, it is possible to synchronize a Microsoft Azure contact database with TinyMDM in a single click, making them visible in the device’s Contacts application.
3. Managed application configuration
Each application contains its own initial configuration and is accessible to any user. However, for ease of management, some applications offer advanced configurations accessible from an MDM. TinyMDM provides access to these managed configurations when they exist.
Let’s take the example of a company that wants to make it possible for every employee to consult their mailbox via the Gmail or Outlook application. By default, when one of these applications is installed, each mobile device user must enter their email address in order to connect. With managed configurations, IT administrators can pre-configure somes parameters, including the login email address. When the application opens, the smartphone user simply needs to enter their login password, since the e-mail address has been pre-configured.
4. Integration with corporate tools with TinyMDM’s API
TinyMDM also provides its own API (Application Programming Interface), enabling integration between its Android MDM solution and external applications. Using the TinyMDM API offers a number of advantages, including simplified integration of many actions available on the administration console, and precious time-saving for IT teams.
Among the options available via the TinyMDM API are actions on mobile device users or administration console managers, as well as numerous actions linked to device policies. It is also possible to carry out actions directly targeting a specific managed device: lock screen, geolocation, change or delete passwords, activate kiosk mode and much more. Still via the API, it is possible to manage private applications in the TinyMDM Store, and to manage contacts and shared files potentially pushed to mobile devices.
5. Advanced configuration of Samsung Knox devices via Knox Service Plugin (KSP)
Thanks to its partnership with Samsung, TinyMDM integrates Knox Service Plugin. KSP is an application on which it is possible to configure functions specific to Samsung Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE). These include security, connectivity and application management functions. You can request free activation of the KSP plugin on your TinyMDM account by contacting the team directly. To be KSP-compatible, devices must be Samsung, supporting the Knox license, and the company must have a Knox Platform for Enterprise license.
Thanks to its numerous integrations, the dedicated Android MDM software offers a complete, simple and flexible solution for companies wishing to optimize their mobile device management.
