Local government

Every service's devices under one console, with data kept in your region

A council's devices are spread across services and sites: social workers' laptops, housing officers' tablets, libraries' public PCs and the civic centre's desks. Purple MDM gives each service its group and its role inside the council's baselines, keeps data in your region, and produces the evidence auditors ask for.

What you are up against

Many services, one accountable officer

  • Devices in the field

    Social workers' and housing officers' laptops hold sensitive data and live in cars and homes, not the office.

  • Services that run themselves

    Each service has its own devices and its own habits, and central IT is accountable for all of them.

  • Procurement and evidence

    Where data is held, who can see it and who did what are procurement questions before they are IT questions.

FAQ

Questions we hear from teams like yours

Ask the Purple MDM team anything else

Where is the council's data held?

In its region, Europe or the United States, apart from every other customer's at the database level, with keys held in a cloud key management service. Everyone signs in at one address and is taken to their own region.

Can each service manage its own devices?

Yes, inside the council's baselines, with the Helpdesk role (lock and fix, no wipe, no recovery keys) for service technicians and every action logged.

Can we support the schools we run from the same console?

Yes. Each school's Chromebooks connect through its own Google Admin and its iPads through Apple School Manager, as groups of their own.

Is Purple MDM certified?

Purple MDM does not advertise certifications until each one is confirmed. Ask the Purple team for the current position before you rely on one in a procurement.
