If we tallied up the types of questions we get on a daily basis from contacts in a number of markets like healthcare, retail, manufacturing, field service, the 
public sector and a variety of other businesses, on average I’d say this one is in the top 5. If you’re reading this blog today, I’m guessing that this subject may strike a chord with you as well. Device management affects organizations of all shapes and sizes – especially since many of us are located in places other than HQ. In recent days, months or years, have you found yourself wondering how you can do a better job of:
- Managing devices that are constantly on the move
- Keeping track of units that are located in remote locations
- Updating the software on all your field units
- Monitoring performance
- Providing better support in the field
If so, then you’re a good candidate for a remote device management solution. Now you may be thinking, “We probably don’t have the budget for it.” Think again.
In the past, remote device management developed a reputation for being costly, cumbersome and susceptible to errors. Thankfully there are solutions available today that eliminate the hassle associated with managing a large number of devices without compromising device or network security. And wait, there’s more! Calculating the return on investment (ROI) is easy to do. If you factor in the time and expense it takes today to (a) reach each device, (b) diagnose, (c) track and record information and (d) update and configure (not to mention user downtime and revenues lost), you can see how investing in a solution to manage all of these functions can be a productivity booster and cost saver for your business.
One such solution that we at L-Tron are very familiar with is Honeywell’s Remote MasterMind 3.0 (ReM). Honeywell makes it easy to manage mobile computing devices that run on Microsoft™Windows™, Google® Android™ and Apple® iOS, as well as hand-held bar code scanners, in one location and right from your own network. With a solid solution like ReM, you can virtually (literally!):
- Eliminate site visits to reduce travel costs
- Resolve scanning issues easily by producing detailed diagnostic reports
- Track device inventory quickly and easily
- Operate on your existing IT network
The value you gain from a remote device management solution is impressive when factoring in time, travel and other expenses associated with managing these devices. If you could save over 75% of the expenses incurred over a 5-year period, would that be a product worth exploring in more detail? If so, we can help!
