Integrating Jira Service Desk with MDM

Introduction

Jira Service Desk is a Saas based help desk and inventory management solution. A few of the most commonly raised tickets in a mobile-first organisation deal with lost devices, wiping corporate data from personal devices when the employee leaves the organisation or resetting a corporate device for a new employee. Usually most of these tasks require IT admin’s intervention, but with the integration between Jira and Mobile Device Manager Plus, the help desk technician can now directly perform all of the above mentioned actions and a lot more right from the Jira Service Desk console. This is applicable only for MDM Cloud.
