Scalefusion MDM has come a long way as an industry-proven MDM solution. With time, we changed, rebranded, and made progress in different areas. We have bagged some accolades and learned some lessons as well.
At Scalefusion, we follow a strategic product development roadmap that guides us to either add new features or augment the existing ones for 2 core reasons: to streamline device management processes and mitigate the device management challenges.
2019 has been a rather busy year for Scalefusion MDM. Starting from rebranding activities and broadening the scope and reach of our product to acquiring new customers and setting new benchmarks, we have had an eventful year indeed.
In this blog, we have created a summation of two aspects – the new features that we have introduced in 2019 and the major enhancements in the existing features. Let’s have a quick look at what we did this year.
