MobileApps Integration

Ever since the debut of handheld devices, the world has been on the course to exploit the convenience in their pockets to the fullest. People from all walks of life use mobile devices to stay in touch with each other, do business, engage with the public and stay updated on current trends.

Having customized mobile applications specific to an organization has become the norm for most of the companies as of today. However, there arises the issue of having to distribute the applications to your employees. Hosting them in App Store or Google Play Store might sound like viable options, but they do not provide the flexibility to distribute and manage the applicaitons. Furthermore, the application might become available to all.

So, wouldn't is become easier to share, maintain and manage applications from within the CRM? Of course, a suitable mobile management software is also provided by Zoho. MobileApps in Zoho allows for Admins to upload the customized mobile application, developed using Mobile SDKs, and share it with the specific users and profiles in the organization.

In this section, you'll learn how to integrate and distribute your enterprise-ready mobile application.

Availability

Permission Required: Users with the Administrator permissions can access this feature.

MDM Integration

Mobile Device Manager (MDM), is from ManageEngine, an IT division of Zoho. It was built especially for administration and maintenance of Mobile Applications. Using MDM, you can easily set up, distribute and supervise your enterprise mobile devices and applications. The administrator can deploy, manage and monitor custom-built as well as commercially available mobile devices and applications.
