LONDON, UK – Growth in the number of employees bringing their own consumer-grade mobile devices into the workplace is dictating an urgent need to implement a robust mobile device strategy, advises leading communications service provider Adam Phones.

“Mobile devices represent a challenge for many companies, but with the right centrally-managed mobile device strategy in place, they can yield maximum benefits,” said Adam Toop, Chairman and Managing Director of Adam Phones. “The creation of a defined strategy will drive business benefits in terms of improved security, more productive employees and greater cost savings.”

To help companies maximise the benefits of mobile devices, Adam Phones has published a white paper Driving business benefit from mobile devices that outlines the essential elements of a successful corporate mobile device strategy.

The white paper demonstrates how a successful mobile device strategy defines devices, connectivity and usage based on employee user profiles to ensure they receive the right devices and the correct access privileges. With such a strategy in place management can also more readily identify where cost savings can be made. According to analyst company Gartner, one in five companies are currently overspending on their mobile and data services by up to 20%.

“The proliferation of mobile devices presents massive opportunities for businesses, but they must design and implement a mobile device strategy to achieve the full benefits,” said Toop.
