Enterprise mobility was certainly moving towards becoming a competitive business advantage before the worldwide pandemic accelerated the shift and made it a business-critical requirement.

This month, imei reaches another significant milestone. We turn 21!

In celebrating our 21st birthday, I think it’s important to remember how far we’ve come since our days as a mobile phone service and support company. With the ongoing support of our strategic partners, vendors, and clients, we’ve grown into a full-service whole-of-business communications services provider.

Back in the day – around about ten years ago – bring your own device or BYOD represented a bold move reflecting the new relationship technology played in people’s work and personal lives and the shift to a more mobile and always on work culture. Led by employee demand for the same level of technology performance at work as they enjoy at home, companies began to figure out how to allow employees’ smartphones, tablets, and laptop devices to access corporate networks while ensuring the infrastructure remains secure.

Both a source of competitive advantage and a threat to the status quo, the rapid rise of smartphones in the workplace has shaped today’s world of industry and commerce. The dynamics of enterprise mobility is heralding a new era of enhanced efficiency and productivity by streamlining communication, improving data accuracy, and eliminating unnecessary paperwork, all of which saves time and associated costs.

Whether it’s billing errors, out-of-term-contracts, or telecom carrier services that no longer meet your company’s needs, overspending on telecom-related expenses is widespread. If you haven’t conducted a telecommunications audit for some time, consider imei’s Expense Manager TEM solution.
