We’re now more than 30 years since the mobile phone revolution took off.
About 95% of adults in the US have a cell phone. You carry in your pocket more computing power than was used to put men on the moon.
So why is it still so complex to manage mobile communications in our companies? Isn’t it time to just make it simple?
Messy Mobility
There are three good reasons why mobility got especially messy for corporate IT and communications managers in recent years. They are:
These three trends all converged to make enterprise mobility a really messy affair.
Many companies maintained programs of corporate owned and issued mobile devices. They essentially ignored the “consumerization” of IT.
Others tried to contend by clamping down, often by prohibiting personal mobile devices altogether. Others deployed a range of mobile device management and security products that enforced strict policies.
But others explored how to use the new developments in communications, workforce optimization, and BYOD to further improve their processes and win an edge over the competition.
These forward-looking companies soon learned a critical lesson for making the most of mobility: Keep it simple.
Making Mobility Simple
What really matters in the trends are the communications applications themselves. How does your employee communicate with coworkers and customers? Is the communication flexible, polished, easy to use, and timely? Does it take full advantage of your communications systems and quality assurance tools?
Our Mobile-X simplifies enterprise mobility by orchestrating and streamlining the management of these communications across the varied devices and systems in your environment.
Mobile-X:
The result is that your enterprise mobility becomes very simple. You can use existing communications systems and quality assurance systems with mobiles with no changes. You can let employees use BYOD mobiles while maintaining communications control. Employees are happier and there is less training because they are using devices they know and love.
Featuring the most advanced implementation of fixed mobile convergence technologies, Mobile-X from Tango Networks supports many use cases for a distributed workforce, including Mobile Unified Communications, mobile workforce communications, and programs for remote working, work from home, telecommuting and business continuity.
