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.

What would you say if we told you your business is probably wasting upwards of 15% of its telecoms spending on inactive devices? Or your company’s mobile phone usage is putting your business at risk? That’s what we’re finding from the mid-sized organisations we’ve reviewed as part of our Fast Start program.

In today’s enterprise, complex mobile-based technology infrastructure coupled with the growth of enterprise mobility means burgeoning telecom expense management costs are a fact of life. To drive efficiencies of telecom costs, assets and services implementing a TEM solution is now more important than ever.

Businesses everywhere are supporting remote working practices, yet in many cases, without laying strong foundations for robust data security.
