Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) encompasses the technologies, processes and guidelines that companies use to securely manage mobile devices, applications and data. The aim is to enable the use of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, in the workplace while protecting company data.

EMM encompasses Mobile Device Management (MDM), which involves managing mobile devices according to company guidelines; Mobile Application Management (MAM), which involves managing authorised apps tailored to the company; and Mobile Content Management (MCM), which involves managing company-relevant content and apps on cloud services, email servers, file servers, and company SharePoint sites.

EMM ensures that security guidelines are adhered to, access is controlled, and data can be encrypted, whether the devices belong to the company or are privately owned (e.g. as part of BYOD).
