Challenges: Escalating Mobile Costs
OFCOM research has shown average mobile spend has increased 10% since 2001 whilst tariffs have fallen 20% in the same period. 47% of companies see Mobile spend control as a priority.
Your challenge
For many Companies, large parts of the workforce rely on mobile communications to do their job with an estimated 50% of the UK workforce working away from the office once a week. A recent survey found that 71% of businesses saw the percentage of mobile workers increasing in their company. This is reflected by an increase of 14% in mobile costs between 2001-2005 to 53% of total telecoms spend. This trend is set to continue with the growth of flexible working and the increasing capabilities and functionality of mobile devices such as mobile e-mail and mobile procurement.
Your challenge is to embrace all the benefits of mobile working using the latest mobile technologies whilst being able to track and control 100s or 1,000s of mobile devices with the ability to incur significant expense to your company through voice calls, e-mail, internet browsing and buying goods and services. Unlike fixed and data communications, uniform usage policies for mobile devices are more difficult to enforce and with users’ ability to buy goods and services on their mobiles, you are effectively handing them a loaded gun.
Factors driving increased mobile expenditure:
- Increasing numbers of mobile users
- Growth of applications driving usage costs such as mobile email and internet surfing
- Increased cost of personal usage, ring tone downloads, text voting services
- Mobile procurement services such as M-Pay
- Increased sophistication and cost of mobile devices
- Lack of internal controls and mobile assets and usage
