What is FocusMDM?

FocusMDM is a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution developed by Dimagi. 

When clients purchase and deploy devices with SIM cards to frontline staff, they expect a project's success to be inevitable. Our team at Dimagi knows that there are numerous challenges involved in data collection at the frontline, the biggest of which is often controlling and managing how devices and mobile data are used.

FocusMDM enables organizations to

  • Save time and money by managing their mobile workforce from afar. 

  • Spend their time wisely with the people that need it most, and with the information that is needed to troubleshoot effectively.

  • If managers are concerned about their mobile workers misusing devices for non-work related activities, FocusMDM helps them manage their devices remotely and track all metrics including data usage, individual app usage, location history and aggregate views for the entire deployment. 

  • Additionally, it allows for grouping of workers, blocking or providing access to specific apps and drill down mobile usage through Wi-Fi or data. This is be a great tool to manage deployments, budgets and track device issues real-time thereby increasing productivity on the ground.

FocusMDM is successfully used by organizations to effectively manage their CommCare frontline mobile workers’ devices to improve worker productivity, track data usage, and observe trends in worker activity.

When devices are deployed without mobile device management, as we've seen in the past, they not only put patient data at risk, they risk huge data overage fees and the time and effort it requires to manage lost/stolen devices is extremely high for PMs
