Here is a really simple flow to choose the level of platform you require.
See an earlier post that describes what these platforms are.
I have made some assumptions, in order to keep this as simple as possible, because once you start covering all the bases then it becomes unwieldy.
I assume:
- The BYOD devices will be enrolled into the platform as required
- That if you need pro-active management of your apps then you’ll need a MAM too hence the use of MEM
- That if you are accessing back-end systems (legacy, web etc) then you’ll want a level of security and control etc, that means you very quickly need a MEAP, though there are many different levels of MEAP platforms from simple to quite complex.
Anyway here is the flow, and in words it would look like:
- If you need secure controlled access to your backed use a MEAP
- If you need to pro-actively manage apps on devices use a MEM
- if you only need a catalogue of in house apps use a MAM
- Otherwise use none.
