A Mobile Device Lifecycle Management Health Check can help identify security gaps, unnecessary costs and opportunities to improve the employee experience. Mobile devices are essential to how employees communicate, access information and serve customers. But without clear oversight across procurement, deployment, support and retirement, device fleets can create unnecessary costs, inconsistent user experiences and avoidable security exposure.

A Mobile Device Lifecycle Management Health Check gives your organisation a clearer view of how effectively its mobile environment is being governed, where gaps may exist and where practical improvements can be made.

Mobile Device Lifecycle Management covers the end-to-end administration of mobile devices, involving: 

Procure and provision

• Device allocation and asset registration
• SIM allocation, carrier provisioning, recontracts and upgrades

Configure and deploy

• User profiles, device enrolment, apps and content
• Secure nationwide distribution
• Welcome kits, training and initial support

Operate and support

• Ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting
• Repairs and replacement management
• Device, contract and asset oversight

Redeploy or retire

• Secure wiping of corporate data
• Device redeployment
• Responsible end-of-life disposal

With competing IT priorities, tighter budgets, limited internal resources and an increasingly diverse device environment, it can be difficult to maintain complete visibility across ordering, refresh cycles, updates and software patches. 

However, with Mobile Device Lifecycle Management growing in complexity for all businesses, how you manage everything from mobile device procurement and governance to operation and maintenance, now has a significant bearing on security risks. It also impacts cost controls, support workloads, and staff productivity.

What will your organisation receive?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mobile Device Lifecycle Management?

Mobile Device Lifecycle Management is the coordinated management of corporate mobile devices from procurement and deployment through to support, redeployment and secure retirement. Its purpose is to help devices remain secure, compliant, cost-effective and fit for use throughout their lifecycle.

Why is Mobile Device Lifecycle Management important?

A structured approach gives organisations greater visibility and control over mobile assets, services and processes. It can help reduce unnecessary expenditure, support security and compliance, improve employee experiences and simplify administration for internal teams.

What does a Mobile Device Lifecycle Management Health Check assess?

A Health Check reviews how effectively mobile devices are sourced, configured, deployed, supported, redeployed and retired. It helps identify gaps, risks and opportunities to improve lifecycle governance.

What are the signs that our mobile device lifecycle needs reviewing?

Common indicators include incomplete asset records, ageing devices, inconsistent refresh cycles, repeated support issues, unused services, unclear ownership, manual processes and limited visibility over devices approaching retirement.

Can a Health Check identify potential cost savings?

A Health Check can identify areas where device, service or support processes may be creating unnecessary expenditure. Any potential savings will depend on the organisation’s existing environment and the opportunities identified during the assessment.

How can lifecycle management improve mobile security?

Lifecycle management supports security by establishing consistent processes for device configuration, updates, access, support, data wiping and retirement. It also helps reduce the risk of unmanaged or unaccounted-for devices.

Does Mobile Device Lifecycle Management include secure disposal?

Yes. A complete lifecycle approach includes securely removing corporate data and managing devices through reuse, resale, recycling or responsible end-of-life disposal.
