Picture this typical converged communications scenario: Your country-wide mobile workforce taps into your mobile network and connects securely to access your corporate data and applications on their managed device. Secure user authorisation prevents security breaches and compliance with best practices in user privacy and data protection is a given.

As the name suggests, unified communications and collaboration solutions unify channels of business communication, integrating tools for chat and messaging, VoIP and PSTN telephony, and video calls, negating the need to switch between multiple communications solutions. As unified communications tools incorporate collaboration, they support online file sharing and the ability to share screens and simultaneously edit documents enabling all your people to work together wherever they are located.

The accessibility and efficiency offered by mobile and wireless devices are now a critical element in any modern business. And the more your organisation travels along your digital transformation journey, the more devices you’ll need to onboard and manage holistically ­– making device lifecycle management services critical to success.
