Enterprise mobility, and with it the need for convergent management solutions, is a part of today’s reality.  Mobile Device Management (MDM), which involves the administration of devices using platform-independent protocols developed by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), has emerged as the de-facto standard in this space.
