Australian businesses are well served by a wealth of communications technology services providers for internet, data, unified communications, mobile, and more. This means it’s not uncommon to have one service provider deliver your data network carriage, another your fixed voice and mobile phone assets, another to manage communication costs, and yet another to maintain everything.

When you’re ready to equip your workforce with newer, more sophisticated technology, there are a number of ways to order and pay for the devices. Depending on your requirements, you can purchase mobile devices outright in one payment, opt to pay monthly over an agreed term, or choose to lease the devices. The latter allows you to switch to an operational expenditure model, removing mobile asset acquisition from your capital expenses.

In a world where data is power, getting valuable insights from unified data is critical for making data-driven decisions and competitive advantage. But when you need to retrieve data on mobile services from multiple sources and there’s a reliance on manual processes to duplicate data from one system to another, there’s a risk of not having the right information at the right time to make informed business decisions around your mobile fleet when it matters most.

As the end of the financial year draws closer, if you have unspent budget for 2022/23, it makes sense to take advantage of it while you still can. As it’s time to use it or lose it, a smart way to spend down those remaining dollars productively is to fuel next year’s activities upfront. So, consider the benefits of prepaying enterprise mobility managed services, communication technology upgrades, critical hardware, communications health checks, and security audits.

In an increasingly digital and remote work world where you need to keep your staff securely connected wherever they are, slow speeds, variable internet connectivity, and suboptimal network security can stymie productivity and business success. Having to deal with slow network speeds and downtime can also sow the seeds of employee frustration, leading to low morale and ultimately higher staff turnover and less than ideal customer experiences.
