Whether you’re a small to medium business or a large enterprise, there’s a good chance that the role smartphones play in your work environment has evolved organically over time. Having a BYOD mobile policy may not originally have been a strategic decision, but it is just what made sense as employees began showing up to work with smartphones and asking if they could access corporate email. A decade on, they want to do a lot more than email.
Today, many businesses are taking a step back and thinking more holistically about the right mobile strategy for them. In highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare and government, where added control and security are a must, BYOD has never been an acceptable option. But even for many SMBs without heavy regulatory burdens, Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) or Corporate-Owned, Personally-Enabled (COPE) are becoming an appealing option because they offer the business greater control, security and — perhaps most importantly — a stronger platform for mobile workflows.
Still, an enterprise mobile deployment is no small undertaking. Businesses of all sizes want to minimize complexity and management overheads, ensure business continuity and maintain a high level of security. Trying to achieve all these objectives at once can feel a little like the adage, “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.”
But does an enterprise deployment of smartphones have to be so complicated and complex? Can’t you achieve all those goals while delivering better mobile experiences to your employees?
At Samsung, we’ve worked hard to make deploying smartphones easy. In fact, we’ve invested significant resources over the past five years creating a stack of solutions and service offerings to help businesses of all sizes be able to quickly and easily launch and manage a fleet of devices — whether it be the enterprise-friendly Galaxy Note8, or the sleek new Galaxy S9 and S9+.
Peace of Mind
Starting a new initiative is always a little nerve-wracking. How long will it take? What resources will you need to get the job done? Can you continue to manage the initiative once you’ve launched? It’s no different with a mobile deployment — there’s a learning curve involved.
Using Samsung’s Knox QuickStart services will help you get over that initial deployment hump and provide you with the set of tools and expertise you need to manage your smartphone enterprise deployment on your own.

3. Easier management. While our QuickStart services focus on helping you deploy your corporate devices as quickly as possible, we recognize that what happens once the smartphones are in employees’ hands is just as important.
