Telecoms expense management enables your team to work smarter and be productive wherever they are. But as much as smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other devices are essential enablers of your digital transformation efforts, they can also expose your business to a range of policy enforcement, regulatory compliance and security concerns.

This is where cutting edge telecoms expense management software comes into play. These solutions simplify the management of your mobile fleet and help you to keep your network and data secure. Here is a guide to the most common telecoms expense management challenges companies face and how TEM can help you to address them:

Deploying and updating software: Ensuring that every telecoms and remote user has secure access to company apps and data—and that their software is updated with the newest security patches—can be a drain on the IT team’s time. Cutting edge TEM solutions allow zero-touch, over-the-air enrolment of new devices and users to accelerate deployment. They also feature automated, over-the-air software patches and updates to make sure all devices are protected against the latest security vulnerabilities.

Supporting multiple operating systems and device models: Most companies today need to manage diverse endpoints, including mobile devices, laptops, desktops, internet of things devices and more. Robust TEM will simplify the management of all operating systems and device platforms in use across your business—IT will be able to control them all from a single interface.

Addressing theft and loss of devices: The loss or theft of a corporate device with network access or locally stored business information is arguably an even bigger risk than hacking or malware. Cutting edge MDM allows you to remotely lock a device and to wipe data from a corporate device or from the corporate container on a BYOD. This will protect company data if a device is stolen or lost. It also makes it simple to cleanse data from a user’s device when they leave the company.

Enforcing security policies: The key to running a secure mobile environment is ensuring that end-users comply with your policies. Smarter platforms enable you to set and enforce security policies like passcode requirements, encryption, and app permissions, so that you’re assured sensitive data is protected. MDM lets you to set policies by user group, location or device type as well as configure device and OS level policies.

Supporting end-users scattered in different places: Many MDM solutions simplify life for IT team by enabling them to troubleshoot and support devices remotely. They don’t need to have physical access to devices to provide basic support to employees working remotely.
