Imprivata Supercharges Shared Mobile Device Management With New Analytics Suite

In an era when mobile devices are rapidly becoming the backbone of frontline work in hospitals, factories, and mission-critical environments, managing and optimizing their use has become a serious challenge. Imprivata, the company long known for shaping secure digital identity solutions in high-stakes industries, is stepping into that breach with a new set of analytics capabilities aimed squarely at turning data blind spots into strategic clarity.

Imprivata has announced a major update to its Mobile Access Management (MAM) platform, designed to help organizations understand how shared, corporate-owned mobile devices are being used in the real world—and how to use that information to drive smarter decisions across their workforce.

“Mobile devices have become essential tools for businesses, but managing and securing them can be a challenge,” said Fran Rosch, CEO of Imprivata. “Imprivata MAM helps organizations deliver a personalized user experience on corporate devices through fast, secure access, while also maintaining strong security and asset management. Incorporating advanced analytics gives organizations the insights they need to make informed decisions about their mobile strategy to drive improved productivity, security, and compliance.”

Shared Devices, Shared Challenges

The rise of shared mobile devices—often used in hospitals, warehouses, and field service environments—has outpaced IT’s ability to track and analyze how they’re used. Unlike personal smartphones or laptops, these devices pass from one shift to the next, used by dozens of people over a single day. That makes it incredibly difficult to optimize workflows, ensure security compliance, or even know if a device has been left uncharged or checked out for too long.

According to Imprivata’s own research, only 51% of organizations feel they have real control over who accesses what device. Even more troubling, 60% report that auditing mobile usage is “very difficult”—a pain point that the new analytics suite aims to eliminate.

A Centralized View Into Device Behavior

The updated MAM platform now delivers granular visibility into how, where, and by whom devices are used. That includes tracking device types, operating systems, application usage, and location-level deployment patterns—transforming fragmented data across facilities into actionable intelligence.

Want to know if a department has too many (or too few) devices? Done. Curious whether users are hoarding devices across shifts? The system can send proactive alerts. IT can even monitor real-time “fleet health,” such as battery status and connectivity issues, to minimize downtime before it disrupts operations.

This level of insight, the company says, not only increases ROI on mobile investments but also boosts user satisfaction by reducing friction in accessing essential tools.

More Than Just MAM

The new analytics features are part of Imprivata’s larger analytics strategy, integrating with its Enterprise Access Management, Patient Privacy Intelligence, and Drug Diversion Intelligence platforms. The idea is to bring identity, security, and workflow optimization under one centralized roof—no more patchwork visibility or chasing audit trails across multiple systems.

The timing couldn’t be more crucial. With mobile device deployments scaling in critical sectors like healthcare, aviation, and logistics, the cost of mismanagement can be measured not just in dollars, but in delayed care, lost compliance, and frontline frustration.

To showcase the new capabilities, Imprivata will host a webinar on Wednesday, April 16 at 1:00 p.m. ET, diving into the platform’s technical details and business impact. Registration is available here.

The Bigger Picture

What’s clear is that shared mobile environments aren’t a passing trend—they’re the new normal. And without the right tools to manage them, organizations risk being overwhelmed by complexity. Imprivata’s move signals a shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive optimization in mobile IT—putting the kind of insights once reserved for web analytics into the hands of those managing life-critical systems.

If the future of work is mobile and shared, platforms like Imprivata’s MAM may well become the blueprint for making that future secure, efficient, and user-friendly.
