Many companies have made huge strides in managing compliance, fraud and security of communications with customers. If you are in a regulated industry or your employees deal with sensitive transactions, then security and compliance are not optional.
Yet too often, the compliance and security controls are blind to the fastest growing tool in our communications: the mobile device.
Majority Now Mobile
The US Department of Health and Human Services reported in May that the majority of US households now have only wireless phones. The survey showed that 50.8% of US households have no landline phone but at least one cell phone.
The dominance of mobile phones in the home is being followed by the dominance of mobile phones in the workplace.
The predictions of the demise of the desk phone have been a long time coming. And indeed increasing numbers of companies are going “mobile first,” cutting the cord, and making mobile devices the primary communications tool for their employees.
But the incoming flood of mobile device can create a headache if you are in a business that has important compliance, security and fraud prevention goals to meet. How will you enforce these policies on your increasingly mobile workforce?
Very often the mobile devices, especially personal mobile devices, are out of scope and control of the tools used for recording, archiving and analytics for compliance and fraud prevention.
Taming the Mobile
The solution to make the mobile device “compliance friendly” is to extend your compliance controls to them and treat them as if they are any other end-point in your communications systems.
Easier said than done, you might be thinking.
Not so. Enabling your customer engagement, compliance, security and archiving tools to work seamlessly with mobile devices is exactly what our Mobile-X does.
In fact, taming the mobile and bringing it into the scope of your compliance and customer engagement tools is the focus of our expanding partnership with Verint.
We recently announced that our Mobile-X operates with Verint’s Customer Engagement Optimization.
Mobile-X can seamlessly connect your employees’ mobile devices used in customer interactions and let you manage them with the same compliance tools you use with landline phones.
Working together, these two solutions remove the mobile device “blind spots” from your contact center, compliance, fraud prevention and security controls. Mobile-X even works with personal devices in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, solving one of the major security and compliance issues in BYOD.
As featured in an article in Workforce Optimization, the partnership fills a critical gap:
Incorporating a breakthrough implementation of fixed mobile convergence technologies, Mobile-X from Tango Networks dramatically improves mobile communications for a distributed workforce, including Mobile Unified Communications, work-from-home, remote worker, teleworker, telecommuting, connected worker and business continuity programs.
