Tired of "Managing" Your Corporate Data Plan?

With a recent study done by iPass stating 94% of the mobile workforce own a smartphone today, organizations now face a unique challenge managing their employee mobile devices, service providers, features, plans and more. The days of “trying'“ to manage this process via spreadsheets is becoming nearly impossible due to the overwhelming adoption of “smart” devices in the workplace. To put that in perspective, Gartner recently stated we have more than 20 billion devices connected to the internet today with that number only increasing annually.

To combat this ongoing struggle, organizations are now looking to partner with corporate mobility providers who will constantly evaluate opportunities in the marketplace to reduce the costs and complexity within their mobile data plan. Companies of all sizes should consider a partnership, however we have found the greatest savings opportunities with organizations spending (on average) $10,000+ monthly.

Below are a few of the benefits your organization can realize when leveraging a corporate mobility provider.

  • Evaluation of all users, devices, features, usage and corporate policies to maximize savings
  • Daily analysis of usage patterns and features to determine the optimal plan
  • Day to day provider and inventory management
  • Streamlined equipment (smartphone, tablet, hotspots, etc) purchasing activities
  • Detailed reporting of all assets and costs tied to your environment

On average, corporations who utilize a mobility provider can expect reduction in costs anywhere from 10-30% annually. It’s also important to note that most providers offer a free upfront engagement to determine where they can offer the most value and savings. As a result of the partnership, not only will your organization save money, but your workforce can now focus on more strategic decisions versus the mundane, time consuming tasks that will not drive the business forward.

If you haven’t considered a mobility partner to date, consult with an Opkalla team member to discuss whether it is the right fit for you.
