One device, four managements modes
Enterprises must manage a wide range of devices, including corporate-owned, employee-owned, and sometimes a mix of corporate-owned / personally-enabled devices. Given all these different levels of ownership and usage, businesses need to ensure the safety of business apps and data on any device used for work thanks to specific management modes. With TinyMDM, official Android EMM partner, IT administrator can manage all devices from one place: personal devices used for work, company-owned devices for business use only, company-owned devices for single use (kiosk mode), or company-owned devices but personally enabled.

BYOD
Work profile management is intended for managing employee-owned devices (BYOD) and company-owned / personally enabled devices (COPE).
The device holds professional apps and data in a secure container, but enterprises have no visibility or access to the user’s private data, and the inability to implement device-wide security policies.
COPE
COPE mode is particularly well-suited to companies that need to have greater control over their employees’ mobile devices, while allowing them to use them for personal purposes.
The company’s IT administrators can manage business applications, apply security updates and remotely delete business data if necessary, while leaving the employee’s personal data intact.
COBO
Fully Managed mode is ideal for corporate-owned devices intended for professional use. Enterprises can keep a control over which apps and data are allowed on the device.
Creating a secure mobile workspace can require extra layers of security, which is why you can also manage device-wide controls.
COSU
Kiosk mode is the ideal management mode for public environments (point of sales, museums, restaurants…) or employee facing scenarios (inventory management, field service…).
It locks down the use of a device to a single app (or small set of applications). Only authorized apps appear on the screens, the user can’t add any other applications.
