When someone who loses their mobile device manages to get it back, it’s not uncommon to hear them say something like, “Thank goodness — my life is in there!” It would be accurate to add that, in many cases, access to their company’s entire data stack also resides on the device.

This is one of the reasons businesses should be as aware as consumers of location-tracking solutions like Samsung’s SmartThings Find.
