Unbundling essentially means you buy the handset and tariff plan separately rather than it being rolled into one monthly price.

But what if I have a tech fund?

Tech funds are not a sustainable model, and as such we have seen them abandoned in other countries. Network providers have typically used tech funds as a means to attract and retain customers with ‘free money’. Of course, it’s not free money, and there is no real added value here as the price is again hidden within the tariff package. We have already seen customers move away from this model as it doesn’t provide organisations with the transparency and flexibility that they are demanding now.

Mobile device management or MDM for short is an essential part of enterprise mobility management. MDM is a type of security software that allows organisations to manage, secure and enforce policies on employee’s mobile phones. Leading MDM providers include AirWatch, MobileIron and Citrix. MDM software can often be combined with additional security tools such as Mobile Application Management to ensure comprehensive security for mobile devices.

Why are Enterprise Mobility Solutions important for a business?

Mobile phones are generally the quickest evolving pieces of technology on the market today. Having an enterprise mobility solution in place ensures that your technology is always up-to-date, which can result in increased employee productivity by providing the best possible tools for the job. Furthermore, this shorter lifecycle means that devices are being moved in and out of the business more quickly than a laptop or PC. It’s imperative that organisations can keep track of and manage these assets, their usage patterns and their costs effectively, which an end-to-end mobility strategy can help to do. Of course, mobile phones are liable to damage, and therefore an end-to-end mobility strategy is not complete without repair services. This can be provided in the form of a break-fix or direct replacement capacity agreement. There is no extra burden placed on the end user here, all they simply have to do is take their broken device to the service desk where they receive a direct replacement. The broken device is then taken to a logistics centre whereby it is repaired and placed back into the customers stock pool. All of which can be underpinned by an asset and contract management system.

What are digital signage solutions?

Digital signage solutions consist of any form of electronic display that can be used to advertise, display information, menus and other content. Digital signage is centrally controlled via a content management system (CMS), allowing for the efficient distribution of content throughout as many or as few locations as you require. Digital signage is mainly seen within retailers and fast-food restaurants who use it within shop windows or to draw attention to seasonal offers. However, digital signage solutions are also used by a variety of public sector institutions and corporate enterprises to provide internal communications and information for visitors.

How can digital signage be used?

Digital signage is mainly used as a means to attract attention and increase engagement levels. However, it can be used for so much more than that. Digital signage provides organisations with the power and flexibility to communicate key messages to a much wider audience, instantly. By using digital screens, you can reduce print costs, increase brand awareness and promote key marketing messages quickly and effectively. The industry sector will vary how digital signage is used, but we normally see it being used to provide product information and promotions, advertise and third-party advertising, display information such as menus, the weather, the news, product pricing and lastly as a means of entertainment.

When should I use digital signage?

Digital signage should ultimately be used if you’re looking to attract attention and increase stakeholder engagement. If you’re looking to modernise your environment, increase your revenue, or reduce your print costs and paper usage, then digital signage provides a perfect means to do this. Digital screens are a proven method that can get your product or messages noticed and in the long run future proof your business.

What industry does digital signage work for?

Currently, we see digital signage mainly being used within the retail and hospitality sectors in the UK. However, we are starting to see banks adopt digital signage as a way to inform both customers and staff of any new products that are on the market and convey live data such as exchange rates. Digital signage doesn’t have to be limited to just banks, retail and hospitality outlets either, any corporate organisation can use digital screens as a way to advertise their products or inform internal staff of any useful employee information such as events, recognition, rota’s, KPI’s or training videos.
