Problem statement
- No pre-approved device enrollment option
- Limited grouping/subgroup management
- Basic remote control functionality and lack of advanced troubleshooting features
- Application rollout and rollback were slow and unreliable
AU Small Finance Bank faced growing pains as their mobile device landscape expanded. With 25,000 Android devices used by field staff and remote office employees, the lack of integrated onboarding, granular grouping and real-time security controls created significant operational inefficiencies.
Devices in remote offices often required lengthy manual intervention. Remote troubleshooting tools offered limited visibility and app lifecycle management was error-prone, making it difficult to deploy, update, or roll back applications quickly. These gaps posed compliance risks, the potential for data loss and slowed business response to rapidly changing needs.
