The holiday season is approaching, and with it, the inevitable staff reduction across departments, including IT. Your team faces a critical question: Who maintains operational continuity and manages the security of thousands of devices with half the personnel?
The reality is that while your workforce scales down, the corporate risk surface expands. The blurring of work and personal life—marked by increased BYOD use and corporate equipment in uncontrolled environments (homes, travel)—heightens exposure to security incidents like phishing and network infiltration. This risk is statistically proven: Forrester Research indicates that 70% of companies experience security issues due to a lack of consistent BYOD policies or UEM tools.
Based on our expertise helping B2B companies maintain mission-critical operations, Applivery UEM is specifically designed to resolve this seasonal challenge, ensuring your IT department retains operational efficiency.
Why fragmented UEM is your biggest holiday risk
Fragmentation is not merely an operational annoyance; it’s a “tax” on efficiency and security. Depending on multiple tools specialized by operating system (Android, Apple, Windows) forces IT personnel to manually manage security policies in parallel. This reliance on fragmented systems compromises the department’s ability to manage security incidents centrally and quickly, precisely when reaction time is most critical.
Applivery: your single control point for continuity
The only viable way to guarantee the “Zero Interruptions” Operation is through automation and unified management. This is where Applivery UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) comes in—the platform that transforms the risk of the holiday season into a secure and automated operation.
Applivery enables your team to proactively configure, monitor, and manage their entire fleet of devices from a single control point.
The automation blueprint: ensuring flawless department functioning
Applivery UEM automates critical tasks that traditionally require manual intervention, providing the blueprint for keeping the department functioning with minimal resources. This approach is vital for security: IBM Security reports that implementing security automation is key to containing a breach in under 200 days.
Total remote management for operational continuity
Remote management is the cornerstone of departmental efficiency. Applivery allows for configuration and maintenance from the cloud, without the need for physical intervention on the endpoint:
-
Fast security deployment: remote distribution of urgent configuration profiles (like new VPN credentials or security certificates) or internal apps. Installation is immediate on managed devices.
-
Kiosk Mode control: for unattended devices in specialized corporate environments (e.g., kiosks, fixed terminals), our Advanced Kiosk Mode offers an essential layer of control, guaranteeing the device only runs specific work applications, preventing misuse.
Smart enrollments and unified visibility
Efficiency begins with streamlined onboarding and proactive monitoring:
-
Zero-Touch configuration: methods like Zero-touch and Apple DEP ensure new devices brought into service during the holidays are automatically and guidedly configured, without consuming the IT team’s limited time.
-
Unified dashboard: the platform offers a dashboard with total visibility over the status of all devices. This means the on-call IT Manager can immediately verify operational status, compliance, and update needs.
Beyond management: control, agility, and peace of mind
Applivery provides IT Managers with the control, agility, and simplicity needed to secure a “Zero Interruptions” Operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main operational pain point for IT during the holidays?
Managing the support workload and security pressure with reduced staff is the main pain point. The goal is to avoid being constantly on guard for unexpected issues.
How does fragmented UEM compromise corporate security?
Relying on OS-specific solutions (Android, Apple, Windows) makes it nearly impossible to manage security incidents or complex troubleshooting across the entire corporate fleet centrally. This compromises the ability of the department to manage security incidents.
Why are deployments considered "impossible" during this time?
Deployments of new corporate apps or urgent security updates become slow and nearly impossible with limited resources. If a device used by a remote executive requires a patch, the process can be completely paralyzed.
