Imagine this: 40 iPhones and iPads are in daily use; in ambulances, during emergencies, and on-call duty. Everything needs to work quickly, reliably, and flexibly. But what happens when these devices need to be set up, equipped with apps, or updated?<\/p>\n

This was exactly the challenge faced by the German Red Cross Emergency Services Branch in Tuttlingen (DRK Rettungsdienst Tuttlingen gGmbH) when they decided to implement a mobile device management (MDM) system in 2024. The goal was less effort, more transparency, and clear control.<\/p>\n

What Mattered Most: Cost, Ease of Use, and Quick Implementation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Red Cross branch employs 120 people, about a third of whom use mobile devices. The decision to introduce an MDM system didn\u2019t come from a theoretical need but from real-life requirements: devices had to be managed, contacts centrally provided, and apps purposefully rolled out.<\/p>\n

What mattered most to the emergency service team was keeping costs in check, ensuring the system was easy to use, and rolling it out quickly without any technical obstacles.<\/p>\n

They found the solution at a Red Cross workshop where Cortado MDM was presented. Thorsten Lang, emergency services manager, could immediately see the benefits.<\/p>\n

The Road to Implementation: Small Steps lead to Big Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The rollout began the same year. Although the full implementation took almost six months due to limited internal resources, the collaboration with the Cortado team went smoothly and without complications.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked closely with Cortado, it was all handled very professionally and reliably,\u201d says Thorsten Lang, head of emergency services and responsible for selecting the MDM system.<\/p>\n

There were no unexpected surprises along the way. The system integrated seamlessly into daily emergency operations, and fully stress-free.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the time saved during device setup and management, the emergency service is also able to reduce costs.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lang explains: \u201cThe added value of Cortado MDM for our organization lies in the decentralized management of devices, control of apps, and the ability to restrict unwanted features for each user in a flexible way. In addition, managing our devices with Cortado saves time on administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
