The MDM solution can provide a full control for teacher to monitor and control the tablet PCs and mobile devices in a class so that the devices could be directed to any particular apps or activities, or disable from certain function, or centralised management of apps installation or deletion. These solutions are deployed in schools and universities in HK, Mainland China and Singapore.
