Cisco has announced the end-of-sale of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (SM), with June 3, 2026 being the last day to purchase a new license.
With this announcement in mind, businesses can make one of two choices:
-
Simply find a replacement MDM tool.
-
Elevate their long-term strategy with a scalable mobility platform.
Organizations that rely on mobile-enabled frontline operations understand that every minute of frontline device underperformance impacts revenue, productivity and customer trust. That is why choosing the right mobility management solution is essential to operational efficiency, scalability and overall IT infrastructure.
SOTI ONE goes beyond device management — giving you control, visibility, and resilience at scale.
Key Considerations for Choosing Your Next EMM Solution
-
Enterprise-Grade Device Lifecycle Management: From deployment to retirement, your preferred platform should be able to support all the devices in your fleet, without compromising value or efficiency.
-
Real-Time Visibility: IT teams need real-time insight into what is happening across their mobile devices, apps and network performance to proactively prevent downtime. Without proper visibility, device issue resolution will be reactive and recurrent.
-
Frontline, Rugged & Shared Device Support: From retail associates to delivery drivers and nurses, frontline workers depend on rugged, shared and shift-based devices — making specialized device management essential.
-
Basic MDM Isn’t Enough: Basic capabilities of MDM software, such as device enrollment and configuration, are not enough for modern mobility. Businesses should be asking: “How do we prevent device loss?" and "How do we pinpoint connectivity blind spots?” Advanced capabilities help you gain deeper insight into your device fleet and unlock its full potential.
-
Strong Security & Automation: Just as modern mobility is evolving every day, so are security and compliance risks. With the global average breach cost sitting at $4.44M in 2025, businesses must prioritize mobile device security when considering MDM software.
Your next platform should solve today’s challenges, while preparing your organization for tomorrow’s growth.
Why Organizations Choose SOTI for Enterprise Mobility
SOTI is trusted by more than 17,000 enterprise customers, supported by over 6,500 partners and operating in more than 170 countries worldwide. It generates top-tier products that are equipped to serve mobile and frontline operations. SOTI prides itself on providing products that exceed the expectations of traditional IT tools.
Its impact is proven across industries:
Retail – Trek
Facing excessive downtime, frequent device issues and limited visibility into its rugged device fleet, Trek turned to SOTI MobiControl XS. With it, Trek expedited employee onboarding by 15-20%, gained visibility into device health and enabled issue resolution before problems escalated.
Logistics – DAO Group
As DAO Group scaled, software upgrades and issue diagnosis required extensive manual effort, resulting in lengthy downtime. SOTI MobiControl XS reduced downtime by 50% and time spent troubleshooting by 85% with Remote Control.
Emergency Services – Greater Reykjavík Fire & Rescue Service (SHS)
When migrating from outdated mini-PCs to modern tablets, SHS struggled to address downtime and keep them up to date. SOTI MobiControl saved 30 hours each month, preventing the need for additional IT staff support and boosting overall productivity.
Healthcare – Colombian Pharmaceutical Company
This organization lacked visibility in business app usage and mobile data consumption, leading to approximately five hours of productivity being lost every week per salesperson and elevated costs. With SOTI MobiControl XS, productivity loss was reduced by 80%, and telecom expenses by 15%, with the Data Usage Dashboard.
Across many industries, the pattern is clear: SOTI drives visibility, visibility drives control and control drives resilience.
