Data cost is one of the biggest expenses for companies and enterprises deploying mobile devices. Data breathes life into digital devices to perform desired business operations, adding to the business growth. It is important for the devices to be connected to high-speed internet to efficiently run business apps. The devices deployed within a physical office can be connected to the internet using a WiFi network. But as work perimeters dissolve, it is imperative to empower the digital devices with mobile data, especially the devices used by a remote workforce. This includes a huge fleet of frontline workers, logistic employees and employees working on flexible locations.
The cumulative data costs involved with enterprise mobility is humongous. To draw in maximum R.O.I. from the mobility exercise, it is necessary for the company IT admins to control the excess data costs on digital devices without compromising on the experience of the end-user working on the device.
