Enterprise organizations can now provide a better on-boarding experience for their SugarCRM Mobile users.
Previously, users had to enter server URL, email address, password and possibly, other configurations as part of a one-time setup. These manual configurations are a barrier the adoption and success of your SugarCRM mobile app initiatives.
In the case of larger organizations, this may result in users calling IT support during first time login. If you document configuration info, it needs to be updated as you roll out new updates. Both of which you can avoid with Sugar MACS now
Instead, you can now preset the configurations and automatically set remotely using MDM. This simplifies the setup process for end users, and alleviates the help desk and documentation overhead.
