Evaluation and lifecycle

How to evaluate Otukan device management over the life of a fleet: a pilot on your own devices, clear ownership and support, migration and a planned exit.

Evaluate device management over the whole life of a fleet, not only on the day it goes live. A sound evaluation pilots real workflows on your own devices, makes clear who owns and supports each function, and plans how devices move in and out. Otukan runs that evaluation with you. Acceptance criteria are agreed before the pilot, ownership and partner scope are written down, and migration and exit are planned per platform. The pages in this collection help you prepare each part, for Android and Apple phones and tablets.

Fleet scope

Pilot devices should represent the fleet: each model, OS version and ownership mode you run, on Android and on Apple devices alike. A pilot limited to the newest phones hides the problems older hardware brings. Otukan chooses the pilot set with you and agrees the acceptance criteria for each device group before the first enrolment.

Operating model

Before signing, you should know who holds policy authority, who builds each function, who supports it and who you call when a device fails. Otukan puts this in writing: the functions it builds and supports, the ones a partner delivers and how each connects to your directory and existing tools.

Lifecycle

Evaluation continues after go-live. Otukan reviews new OS releases, platform credential renewals and device end-of-support dates with you, and keeps the exit plan agreed at the start current as the fleet changes.
