1. A method comprising:
- in response to receiving input from a primary application executing on a mobile device, initiating execution of an agent application on the mobile device;
establishing a communication link between the agent application and a remote resource;
receiving control input transmitted from the remote resource over the communication link to the agent application; and
in accordance with the control input received from the remote resource, controlling at least one application on the mobile device.

Abstract
According to example configurations, a primary application includes code that performs a check whether an agent application is installed and/or executing on a corresponding mobile device. If the primary application determines that the agent application is currently not installed and/or currently executing on the mobile device, the primary application initiates installation and/or execution of the agent application on the mobile device potentially unbeknownst to the user of the mobile device. A network administrator communicates with the agent application on the mobile device over a persistent communication link to manage a group of applications and/or related information on the mobile device.
