Users clicking through screens.Administrators putting out fires.Policies offering less protection than expected.
Happier users.Less pressure on administrators.Security gaps closed.
Six situations.
Select what applies to you. Your choices will be included in your inquiry at the end.
Each service has a defined scope and a written outcome.
An upgrade or expansion is coming up, or something is not working and nobody can pinpoint where.
I assess your BlackBerry UEM environment: its underlying assumptions, unclear dependencies and areas where users, administration or security lose out unnecessarily. You receive prioritised findings and next steps in a practical order.
Internal audit, data protection or an auditor is asking whether your policies really provide protection.
I check whether policies, profiles and data paths actually meet your protection requirements, and explain trade-offs between protection and usability openly.
The platform decision is on the table: keep it running, switch or combine.
A reasoned decision based on your applications, data paths and operational requirements. With counterarguments and the conditions under which the recommendation changes.
A platform needs to be set up, or a switch is coming up and needs a plan.
I carry out the initial installation of your UEM platform together with your team and document it. If it replaces an existing platform, I first develop a migration strategy where needed, covering functional gaps, dependencies, pilot criteria and a clear Go/No-Go decision.
A device management concept needs to be completed for your organisation, a tender or your client.
I structure and write comprehensive device management concepts, including as a ghostwriter for other consultants, drawing on experience from projects with up to 65,000 devices using BlackBerry UEM and MS Intune.
Your team needs to understand the environment as well as operate it.
Architecture, policies and operational dependencies explained in the context of your actual environment, so your team understands decisions, can explain their reasoning and applies them confidently.
Sell licences.
Take over operations.
Offer hosting.
The problem
Those who earn money from licences, operations or hosting rarely recommend less of them.
No licences.
No operations.
No hosting.
Your advantage
My recommendation is based solely on your environment. If the best answer is “do not migrate yet” or “make better use of the existing licence”, that is exactly what I say.
