In our “3 Essential Tips for Managing Mobile in your Business”, we outlined 3 key areas where you need to gain control to effectively manage mobility.

A year ago, even with flexible working on the rise, the need to support your entire workforce for remote working was simply not a priority for many businesses. Cue COVID-19 and the seismic shift to remote working as employers scrambled to take responsible measures to protect their employees’ health in the face of a global crisis. In the rush to support remote working, many organisations overlooked the need to ramp up mobile threat management.

Organisations with a solid enterprise mobility strategy significantly improve the way they do business.

During the time of COVID-19 when enterprise mobility and the benefits of flexible working have really come to the fore, never have mobile devices been more important. Of course, managing a fleet of mobile devices requires a solid time commitment and it can get complicated dealing with an upgrade and refresh cycle. There’s also the challenge of disposal. Where and how an organisation disposes of its old mobiles and other devices can have a significant commercial impact on the business, so it’s incredibly important to consider disposal options and mobile device recycling.

Fast growing remote workforces enabled by ever-expanding bandwidth, and more sophisticated mobile devices are simply the new normal of modern business. But, the benefits of the new normal of enterprise mobility also come with the challenges of managing rising costs, rapidly advancing technologies, and major security risk.
