Managing corporate mobility

To create a comprehensive mobility plan for your organization, start by creating an internal wireless policy. Then request a copy of your monthly billing data from the carrier in electronic form and use it to analyze data. Also, a split liability policy, where employees buy their own devices and wireless plans and submit bills for business use, isn't the best way for a company to manage wireless programs, because it's difficult to administer and more costly for the company. And on the security front, if employees own their own devices, they can take company information with them when they leave the company. Finally, when forming a device management policy, make sure it identifies who has what and with which carrier, controls procurement and billing, provides end user support and includes strategic management.
