A development project related to mobile device management has been launched. The project aims to provide a new service model for managing the University's mobile devices. The project is coordinated by the University of Helsinki IT Center.
The University's management of mobile devices will be harmonised during the project. By producing a more uniform service model for mobile devices, the project seeks to ensure:
- a smoother user experience for University staff and students at different stages of mobile device use
- easier deployment of mobile devices by providing the most important work applications and their settings ready for use
- greater attention to needs related to information security and data protection
- more systematic life cycle management for mobile devices.
As part of the project, plans will be made for the processes required at different life cycle stages of devices and the technical implementation of mobile device management. The new service will be piloted in autumn 2024. We will provide University staff and students with further details about the pilot and the project's progress later. The goal is to introduce the new service model in spring 2025.
