VMware Airwatch is the industry-leading enterprise mobility management platform according to a 2017 report by the Radicati Group. As a product, Airwatch offers users a complete end-to-end solution for:

• Configuration and management of multiple device types and operating systems
• Access to any apps
• Allowing the use of personal devices without any risk to data security
• Complete data security (even if a device is lost or stolen)

In November of 2016, VMware released Airwatch update 9.0. The major new Airwatch features that came with this involved the setup and configuration of the system across multiple console modules (Airwatch Product Update).

For 2017, Airwatch has expanded beyond mobile device management to provide a complete digital workspace with VMware Workspace ONE. 

 90% of the time we spend consuming mobile media is within apps. They are both familiar to us and more efficient for accessing information on our mobile devices. The Airwatch 9.0.2 update simplifies the process of organizing, deploying, and managing enterprise apps throughout networked devices. 

1.OS Mobile Application Management (MAM)

Mobile app management allows companies to create a custom catalog of applications from:

• Public Sources
• Internally Developed Native Apps
• Web/SaaS 
• Windows

2.Continuous Access Policy 

With data security becoming a growing concern, Airwatch not only secures your devices but also ensures the protection of your business applications. If a networked device fails compliance standards, access to the in-use application will be revoked. Put simply; it automates the process of authenticating both user and device to safeguard your enterprise data. 

3. Password Form Fill

This feature is an extension of VMware's identity manager. The effectiveness of any enterprise software solution is reliant upon how widely it is adopted. For this reason, VMware's goal for all of its solution is to make them, "consumer-simple." With Identity Manager, VMware was able to support this objective by providing a single sign-on capability that allows employees to use one login action for all managed applications. Now, your IT team can extend this function to non-standards-based web apps and increase usability even further.

4.Internal App Distribution

For companies who build their applications, this is the feature that will save you the most time and money. Previously, any app developed had to be uploaded to a public app store to be downloaded onto unmanaged mobile devices. The Workspace ONE app catalog now allows you to upload and distribute internally developed apps, bypassing the public app stores. 

5.Self-Service Password Reset

It may sound simple but resetting your password hasn't always been easy. This feature allows employees to reset their passwords as opposed to relying on their IT department. Again, your company is now saving valuable time and money by enabling your IT team to focus on more pressing business functions. 

VMware Airwatch has been moving to integrate their offerings to provide the ultimate end-to-end enterprise system. This update takes the functionality that already exists and improves its usability, resulting in a user-friendly, "consumer-simple," data and device management solution. 

As more updates are released it begs the question, is this systematic alignment of VMware solutions beneficial for your business or is it creating yet another digital realm that we have to learn and manage?
