The Employee Value Program (EVP) has been offering cellular discounts for years and helping your employees save on their personal wireless bills. We also want to help with your company wireless bill and reducing any overspend. EVP has seen more companies trending towards a BYOD platform and we want to make sure you are prepared if your company is moving in that direction. Whether your company provides devices for their employees now, looking to open up a new account or just want employees to get corporate email we have solutions for all your needs.
What is BYOD? BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device. This refers to employees bringing their own cell phone or tablet and getting company email on their personal device.
What are the Benefits? BYOD is a great option for companies with multiple branches or teleworkers to make it easy to manage cell phones across multi locations. While most companies do provide a subsidy back to the employee on the monthly service; BYOD still saves the company money in equipment cost and overages charges. Allowing employees to bring their own device has proven to increase employee satisfaction and free them from carrying around two devices.
What are the risks? We have seen many organizations that move to a BYOD platform and quickly realize that employees are already accessing company email on their personal device without corporate approval. The question isn’t about allowing or denying access, but how to manage it. It’s important to know that there are still come limitations to device management and not all devices will be compatible.
What can I do to make sure my company is protected? The answer is Mobile Device Management (MDM). There are multiple software programs to help companies manage their devices and control company information pushed to employees devices. By controlling and protecting data settings for all mobile devices in your network, MDM can reduce cost and risks to your company.
Contact EVP with any questions and we can connect your with a Mobile Device Management expert to help protect your company.
