In the modern workplace, smartphones are the device of choice for employees at all levels, and they are used for much more than voice and text. According to a recent Oxford Economics survey, 83% of employees accessed at least one core business system from their phones. While this shift may have improved productivity, it has also created additional challenges for IT and security teams.

The sheer number of smartphones in the workplace has increased the costs and complexity of IT management. Some companies may have a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy for smartphones, while others opt to provide employees with a device. No matter what, IT staff are still responsible for managing and securing them all. In addition, the greater the number of devices in the environment, the greater the security risks.

This white paper explores how a comprehensive smartphone management solution can help your business keep your mobile workforce better connected, protected, and productive. We’ll look at the IT challenges in mobile environments, the benefits of managed smartphone services, and how Verizon Business Complete provides an all-in-one smartphone solution, backed by 24/7 support.
