| Mobile devices have already penetrated the day-to-day operations of workers in many industries, revolutionizing the way in which employees stay connected to one another, to their clients, and to enterprise data and applications. |
| |
| An overwhelming majority of companies have no formal limits in place to monitor or limit usage of wireless devices. Only 1/3 of companies set some form of limit on mobile, which is worrisome given the following statistics: |
|
| » |
Wireless costs have exceeded landline costs (Gartner) |
| » |
More than 70% of mobile employees make their own buying decisions on their mobile phones / plans (Gartner) |
| » |
50% of companies rely on their suppliers to tell them what they have |
| » |
Two thirds of companies pay for 100% of mobile bills (Gartner and Aberdeen) |
| » |
One quarter of all calls made on business cell phones are non-business related – company is paying for personal calls, data transfers, etc. (Gartner) |
|
| |
Industry Analyst forecast states, the dependence on mobile and wireless devices will increase exponentially.
As a result of above enterprises are paying 25-55% more per minute than they should because of their inability to control wireless costs. |
