Abstract

A system for and method of providing mobile device management. The system and method may include identifying, to a customer, a mobile management system that is communicatively coupled to a customer system associated with the customer via a first network and communicatively coupled to a plurality of mobile devices associated with the customer via a second network, storing, on the mobile management system, a plurality of template mobile applications, receiving, from the customer system, modification data associated with one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the first network, modifying the one of the plurality of template mobile applications based on the modification data, and transmitting, to the plurality of mobile devices, the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the second network.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a computing apparatus configured to identify, to a customer, a mobile management system that is communicatively coupled to a customer system associated with the customer via a first network and communicatively coupled to a plurality of mobile devices associated with the customer via a second network;

a computing apparatus configured to store, on the mobile management system, a plurality of template mobile applications;

a computing apparatus configured to receive, from the customer system, modification data associated with one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the first network;

a computing apparatus configured to modify the one of the plurality of template mobile applications based on the modification data; and

a computing apparatus configured to transmit, to the plurality of mobile devices, the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the second network.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first network and the second network are different.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are of a plurality of mobile device types.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications is executable by each of the plurality of mobile devices independent of a mobile device type associated with the mobile device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are associated with a plurality of mobile device carriers.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications is executable by each of the plurality of mobile devices independent of a mobile device carrier associated with the mobile device.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are configured to operate within a plurality of countries.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile management system is configured to provide a mobile management service to the customer for a fee.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile management system is configured to provide the plurality of mobile devices with access to the customer system via the mobile management system.

10. A method, comprising:

identifying, to a customer, a mobile management system that is communicatively coupled to a customer system associated with the customer via a first network and communicatively coupled to a plurality of mobile devices associated with the customer via a second network;

storing, on the mobile management system, a plurality of template mobile applications;

receiving, from the customer system, modification data associated with one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the first network;

modifying the one of the plurality of template mobile applications based on the modification data; and

transmitting, to the plurality of mobile devices, the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications via the second network.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the first network and the second network are different.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of mobile devices comprise at least one of a plurality of mobile phones, a plurality of electronic readers, and a plurality of personal digital assistants.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are of a plurality of mobile device types.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications is executable by each of the plurality of mobile devices independent of a mobile device type associated with the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are associated with a plurality of mobile device carriers.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the modified one of the plurality of template mobile applications is executable by each of the plurality of mobile devices independent of a mobile device carrier associated with the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of mobile devices are configured to operate within a plurality of countries.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein the mobile management system is configured to provide a mobile management service to the customer for a fee.

19. The method of claim 10, wherein the mobile management system is configured to provide the plurality of mobile devices with access to the customer system via the mobile management system.

20. A computer readable media comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 10.
