Change the Economics of Enterprise Mobility

The rapidly expanding mobile employee generation has come to expect the ability to work however, wherever, and whenever they want.

On average, companies today are spending over $120 per month for each mobile employee, and mobility costs are only going up – driven by evolving data plans, and bandwidth starved mobile devices and applications that mobile employees must have.

Keeping workers mobile and productive requires multiple types of connectivity. In a single day, the same mobile user may connect at home, in the office, in a taxi, at a client site—and even from an airplane or hotel—using a variety of devices and access technologies.

As a result your IT organization is now facing the challenges: everything from fast deployment to service monitoring and support issues, and of course, the hidden and un-managed expenses.

Unfortunately for most enterprises, mobility management is chaotic, unpredictable, expensive, and out of control.

In a recent cost survey of iPass customers, 68 percent reported that their mobility costs will increase in the next 12 months.

There are multiple factors contributing to the chaos and uncontrollable costs:

• Employees use many different device platforms, are located in many different geographies, and often will do whatever it takes to get connected.
• A variety of enterprise-owned and employee-purchased devices and carrier subscriptions complicates management and drives up costs.
• Users suffer from the confusion and complexity of a multitude of wireless networks for users to choose: 3G, 2.5G, and emerging 4G, as well as, free, commercial, home and corporate Wi-Fi technologies.
• Multiple forms of access increase information security concerns and integration headaches.
• It does not have the necessary insight, reporting and control tools to accurately monitor, analyze and identify issues on mobile usageacross all networks and devices
