A Guide on How to Reduce IT Costs Using UEM

Reducing IT costs is a major challenge for organizations of all sizes. IT administrators often struggle to find ways to lower expenses while maintaining both security and productivity.

This is where Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions can make a significant impact. UEM optimizes endpoint management processes, reduces time and effort spent on device management, and minimizes security risks—all of which lead to substantial cost savings.

By using a UEM platform, organizations can automate routine tasks like software updates and patching, streamline workflows, and enforce security policies consistently across all endpoints. This not only strengthens security but also improves operational efficiency.

1. Enhanced Security Management

UEM solutions enable organizations to enforce consistent security policies across all endpoints, ensuring compliance and reducing data breach risks.

IT administrators can:

  • Configure password complexity, encryption, and remote wipe policies.
  • Monitor device activity and detect potential security threats.
  • Remotely track, lock, or wipe lost or stolen devices.
Example: If a mobile device is lost, IT can remotely wipe sensitive data to prevent unauthorized access.

2. More Informed IT and Business Decisions

UEM provides valuable data on endpoint usage, performance, and user behavior. This allows organizations to:

  • Identify underutilized devices and optimize inventory.
  • Manage telecom expenses by monitoring data usage and roaming.
  • Make data-driven decisions that lead to cost savings.
Example: Adjusting mobile data plans based on usage insights helps cut unnecessary telecom costs.

3. Improved User Satisfaction and Productivity

A UEM platform provides users with a seamless and consistent experience across all devices. Benefits include:

  • Unified access to apps and data.
  • Easier remote support and faster issue resolution.
  • Automated updates and patches for uninterrupted work.
Example: A sales rep may have a home screen customized with quick access to CRM tools, boosting efficiency.

4. Simplified Device Management and Security

UEM simplifies device management by supporting multiple device types and operating systems through a single platform. It provides:

  • Integrated support for a variety of endpoints (BYOD, IoT, laptops, mobiles, kiosks, printers, etc.).
  • Easier migration and standardized security management.
  • Centralized visibility and control over all devices.

5. Improved ROI

Although UEM requires an initial investment, it offers long-term cost savings through:

  • A single management console for multiple platforms.
  • Reduced hardware costs via better maintenance.
  • Lower training costs with a unified user interface.
Example: Scheduling software updates during off-hours ensures minimal disruption to user productivity.

6. Less Manpower Required

UEM’s centralized approach minimizes the need for multiple management tools and reduces IT manpower requirements. IT teams can:

  • Remotely deploy apps and enforce policies.
  • Manage devices without visiting physical locations.
  • Cut down on time and costs for device maintenance.

7. Seamless App Management Experience

UEM reduces IT costs through efficient app management by:

  • Centralizing app deployment and updates.
  • Enabling self-service app catalogs for users
  • Tracking app usage and eliminating unnecessary subscriptions.
  • Supporting kiosk mode for automated, self-service tasks.
Example: Hotels can deploy self-service kiosks for faster check-ins, reducing staffing costs and improving guest experience.

Why should you try out Hexnode UEM?

Zero-touch deployment

Hexnode UEM offers zero-touch deployment, enabling hassle-free device provisioning without any manual intervention. With this feature, IT admins can easily configure devices remotely and manage them from a centralized console.

Real-time monitoring and management

Real-time monitoring and management is another advantage of Hexnode UEM. It allows IT administrators to keep an eye on device status, location, and activity in real-time. This ensures swift remediation of any issues that arise remotely.

Reports

Hexnode UEM comes with powerful reporting capabilities. These help organizations gain better insights into device usage, compliance status, security vulnerabilities, and more. These reports can be customized and scheduled for regular delivery.

Kiosk mode

Hexnode UEM’s kiosk mode feature allows administrators to configure devices for specific use cases. This improves security by limiting access to approved apps and functions and can also increase productivity by streamlining device functionality. This is particularly useful for retail, hospitality, and other customer-facing industries. Businesses in these sectors need to limit device access to a particular application, such as a point-of-sale (POS) system.

Telecom Expense Management

Hexnode UEM offers telecom expense management capabilities, allowing organizations to track and manage their mobile data and network expenses, reducing unnecessary costs and improving cost predictability. This feature helps organizations gain visibility into their expenses, identify areas for cost optimization, and reduce overall telecom expenses.

Conclusion

UEM solutions simplify endpoint management, automate routine tasks, and strengthen security while reducing operational costs. By adopting UEM, organizations can improve efficiency, boost productivity, and achieve better ROI.
